Instead of tearing up streets, railroads, and pedestrian walkwaysto replace the whole pipe, they used the cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) method to avoid open cut excavation as the project went through downtown, the railroad right-of-way, Highway 87, and a state superfund site.

A project’s schedule also may not fall into the timeframe required by the permit to perform an open-cut excavation across a waterway. Right-of-way or utility owners also may not allowRead More →
