After a complex combined sewer separation project, the City of Cape was left with several oversized failing sewer collection lines.  This project involved up to 20 feet deep 8" clay and 24" ductile iron/clay/corrugated steel lines that were structurally failing and leaking.

Improvements included sliplining of the 24" main with a 16" HDPE fusion welded pipeline with fusion welded service connections and hydraulic pipe bursting of the 8" main pulling an 8" HDPE line.  Several manholes were replaced or lined.
