Client Objective
Rehabilitate aging water infrastructure with minimal system downtime.
Overview
Advantage Reline successfully completed a comprehensive rehabilitation of 1,700 feet of aging water infrastructure for a California water district. The project utilized Primus Line® 10 technology to restore this medium-pressure water main, providing a long-term solution that minimized service disruptions to the community while ensuring reliable water delivery for decades to come.
Challenges
The aging pipeline required complete rehabilitation to maintain reliable service to the district's customers. Traditional replacement methods would have required extensive excavation, resulting in significant service interruptions, traffic disruptions, and costly restoration work. The district needed a solution that could restore the pipeline's structural integrity and hydraulic capacity while minimizing downtime and community impact.
Solution
Advantage Reline deployed Primus Line® 10 trenchless technology to provide a comprehensive rehabilitation solution. The jointless lining system, rated for 50 years of service, was installed with minimal excavation, allowing the project to proceed efficiently while maintaining service to customers. The trenchless approach eliminated the need for extensive street reconstruction and significantly reduced project timeline compared to traditional replacement methods.
The successful installation of 1,700 feet of Primus Line® restored full operational capacity to the water main while providing long-term reliability for the community. The project was completed with minimal service disruption, demonstrating the effectiveness of trenchless rehabilitation technology in maintaining critical water infrastructure. The 50-year service life rating ensures the district's investment will provide reliable service well into the future.
