Construction Methods Of Repair
This section outlines the different techniques for repairing, replacing, or rehabilitating an existing sewer. Since each sewer is distinct, not all methods are appropriate for every situation. It is crucial to collaborate with a knowledgeable sewer contractor to assess the suitability of each sewer on a case-by-case basis and to obtain cost estimates for the various methods, as expenses can differ significantly for each project.
Excavation Installations
This method of construction is commonly known as the dig-and-replace approach, which is familiar to most people. It involves excavating the old pipe and replacing it with a new one. However, open cut may not be the most suitable option in areas with significant surface improvements that property owners want to preserve without incurring high replacement costs. It may also not be ideal in cases where side sewers are considerably deep.
Pipe bursting
This method of construction involves using an HDPE pipe to replace an existing pipe by inserting it directly into the old pipe after bursting it out. To carry out this method, a hole is excavated at the beginning of the line and another pit is dug at the opposite end of the sewer to facilitate the insertion of the pipe and the final connections from the start to the finish. This approach is beneficial for sites with surface improvements that the owner prefers not to disturb or that would be expensive to replace. However, pipe bursting is not a suitable option for pipes that are no longer perfectly round, have multiple bends, or require correction of sags, as the new pipe will conform to the vertical alignment of the old pipe.
Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) lining
CIPP is a method of rehabilitating existing pipes by installing a new pipe inside them. This is achieved by inserting a felt tube liner soaked in resin into the existing pipe, inflating it to fit the shape of the original pipe, and then curing it until the resin hardens to create a new pipe within the old one. CIPP is particularly useful for sites where surface improvements are either left undisturbed by the owner or are expensive to replace. The liner can be inserted through cleanouts in the side sewer and typically requires no additional digging, unless necessary for installing a cleanout. However, it’s important to note that CIPP is not suitable for pipes that are collapsing or have an irregular shape, and it cannot be installed in pipes with too many bends or those requiring correction of sags, as the new pipe will conform to the vertical alignment of the old pipe.
Spot repairs
If the majority of a pipe is in good condition with minimal or no defects, it may be more suitable and cost-effective to perform a spot repair. However, if multiple defects are present throughout the pipe, the property owner should consider either a sewer replacement or rehabilitation. It is generally more cost-effective to hire a contractor once for a larger repair rather than having them come to the site multiple times for repeated spot repairs.
