This project includes 2,335 LF 8" PVC water pipe, 1,546 LF 8" wastewater PIP by open-cut and 1,446 LF 8" wastewater by pipe bursting and other related items of work. Due to limited access and/or to minimize traffic disruptions, several locations require non-conventional trenchless methods where limited excavation is required.
