Options for Gas Main Replacement

For a cast-iron natural gas main, initial replacement options for Peoples Gas in Chicago seemed straightforward—plastic or steel pipes. Logistical, operational and system constraints led the utility to explore an alternative solution: trenchless pipe-lining technology.

Trenchless Technology, Building Pipe Rehab

UNIVERSITY PIPE SYSTEM REHAB IN RECORD TIME

Extending service life and upgrading the piping system of a University of Pennsylvania building in record time demanded strategic innovation, and swift execution. Due PPM and INTECH’s tight collaboration, the project was a success.

The 30-inch turnkey project in Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal challenged what we thought was possible. There were several times we wondered, can it be done? There was nothing conventional about this project. The drawings showed a pipe configuration I had never seen.

UV CIPP RENEWS 36-INCH STORM DRAIN AFTER OTHERS ...

After a previously installed liner failed, UV CIPP proved an ideal solution to rehabilitate a leaking 36-inch storm drain under a heavily trafficked road at a manufacturing facility in New Jersey. Interestingly, the leaking stormwater drainpipe had been lined a few years prior.

World Record 42-Inch Gas Main CIPL

Records are made to be broken, and the world record CIPL in summer 2019 of a 42-Inch Cast Iron Gas Main in a complex layout buried under eight lanes of the Garden State Parkway in East Orange NJ was a breakthrough technological achievement building upon past experience, and fresh technical innovations. It was possible because of lessons learned in overcoming challenges on previous CIPL projects renewing progressively larger diameter CI gas mains.
