This project, managed by EKI, required the rehabilitation of a pressurized potable pipeline. The particular challenges of the project were that the pipe traversed below Highway 1 and through protected wetlands and needed to handle water pressures of up to 140 PSI. Traditional trenching or boring was not an option and would have taken months to complete and created traffic congestion and potential environmental impact concerns.

Advantage Reline was able to solve all concerns by utilizing Primus Medium Pressure Liner which can easily handle the clients 140 PSI requirement. With only 1 small access pit at each end of the line on either side of the highway and wetland allowed all lanes of traffic to continue unimpeded with no disturbance to the sensitive wetlands. Advantage was able to pull the liner through the host pipe in one day with the entire project completed in less than a week - including preparing the line with proper chlorination/de-chlorination, pressure testing, backfill, etc.

This project might be summarized best In the words of the client:
“It was quick, it was cheap and no one else could give us the pressure rating.”
