Wastewater Lift Station Force Main Replacements

Overview

Force mains are pressurized pipes that use mechanical pumps to keep sewer water flowing through them. All pipes degrade over time, eventually needing repair or replacement. This construction is part of a larger project to install six new PVC and/or HDPE force main connections to lift stations (#1, 2, 4, 10, 12A, and 17) with all new valves, fittings, and appurtenances. The current cast-iron force mains range in age from 59-74 years of age.
