PROBLEM
- A deteriorated 24″ reinforced concrete sewer line
- Project site included contaminated soil which could not be disturbed
SOLUTION
Lee Supply provided on-site certified fusion technicians and a trailer including:
- Large diameter McElroy fusion equipment (from our rental fleet)
- All necessary inserts for the different size pipes
- Only three access pits were required
- During the pipe bursting process a percussion head was used to fracture the pipe
- An expander head eliminated the remains of the existing line allowing 1400′ of 32″ HDPE pipe to be pulled through
IMPACT TO CUSTOMER
- The community got a sewer line with increased flow for future services with little to no disturbance of the environmentally sensitive area
