Client Objective
Transform gravity sewer lines to pressurized system while navigating highway constraints.
Overview
Advantage Reline partnered with the Rainbow Water District to execute an innovative pipeline conversion project along Highway 76, a critical connector between two major freeways. The project integrated sewer lines from new residential developments by converting gravity mains to pressurized forced systems.
Challenges
To successfully complete this project, the conversion needed to be completed while navigating strict right-of-way constraints, high traffic volumes, and a complex 1,100-foot installation path with multiple directional changes.
Solution
The team implemented Primus technology to overcome these challenges, enabling a trenchless installation that minimized surface disruption and maintained uninterrupted traffic flow. The solution successfully accommodated 22, 45, and 90-degree turns, all while meeting the 90 PSI pressure requirements and enhancing seismic resilience for the system.
The completed project integrated the new residential development sewer lines into existing infrastructure without traffic disruption or costly right-of-way conflicts. Through creative engineering approaches, Advantage Reline established a reliable, seismically resilient system for long-term performance while validating this technology for similar applications in future projects.
"Primus allowed us to convert a gravity sewer line to a forced sewer main and Advantage Reline was the right company to get it done."
