Directional Drill
Construction of a 48-inch force main by Directional Drill, open-cut, and Slip-lining methods. The existing linestop and 24-inch HDPE Bypass were installed as part of the scope of work of RPQ P0231 to be transferred to the new force main.
The existing force main was leaking in the ICW. DMSI mobilized on an emergency basis and designed and built a “pollution dome” to catch the leaking sewage and pump it back into the force main during long-lead material procurement.
DMSI completed all slip-line repairs. Restore the work zone by completing pavement resurfacing and bringing pavement marking and signalization up to specifications.
