Methodology
Ventilation and odor control used:
Fresh air pumped into pipe past upstream air dam; maintained sealed lids during non-work periods, and adequate ventilation to carry odors downstream during the work periods.
Rehab method used:
Danby Panel Lok III in top portion of pipe from 12" below the pipe centerline (top 240°), with full annulus grouting with cementitious grout with minimum compressive strength of 5000 psi. Prior to installing liner, 6"x6"-W2.9xW2.9 welded wire mesh was mechanically fastened to pipe wall in the top 90° of the pipe.
Cleaning method used (if required) and who cleaned the line:
High pressure (15,000 psi) water blasting performed by the Danby licensee (Rondeau Bay Construction).
Method of flow bypass or diversion, if used:
Constructed work platform over low flow level and partially regulated flow at pump plant.
Hurdles
Problems encountered during construction:
Heavy rains delayed work, curves in pipeline required customizing panels at pipe joints (every 16 feet), and large diameter required greater care in grouting to avoid deforming liner (no separate form work was used to support liner).
Problems encountered after construction:
1999 inspection showed poor installation QC resulted in need for repairs to some joints; 2002 inspection required repair due to over-grouting.
