Client Objective

Repair leaking waterlines without demolition of residential landscaping and swimming pools.

Overview

Advantage Reline tackled a complex rehabilitation project involving three actively leaking potable water lines. The site presented extraordinary challenges including limited access through multiple residential front and backyards, easements with concrete stairs and brick walls, and active traffic areas. Traditional replacement methods would have required extensive demolition, major property disruption, and prolonged service interruptions.

Challenge

Advantage Reline implemented specialized trenchless technology, navigating complex infrastructure including 22, 45, and 90-degree bends. Strategic access points were carefully prepared to prevent damage to existing structures while the team efficiently rehabilitated all three waterlines in just four days. This approach preserved driveways, stairs, brick walls, swimming pools, and landscaping throughout the residential area.

Solution

The local water utility praised Advantage Reline as "great to work with on this unique situation," highlighting their problem-solving capabilities, clear communication, and clean worksite management. Water service to residents was maintained throughout most of the project, with only brief, planned outages required. The completed system operates reliably at 140psi, restoring water service while demonstrating how modern rehabilitation techniques can efficiently address infrastructure challenges with minimal community impact.

"Advantage Reline has been great working with on these unique situations. We selected Primus Line® because this system allows us to have minimal impact to our customers…this is the quicker, simpler and cleaner way to get this line re-established."
