Wallace Lane Rehabilitation

This project was developed to renew aging infrastructure and to address overflows by reducing the amount of rainfall that can enter the system through defects. It consisted of the evaluation of approximately 55,000 linear feet of gravity sewer to determine necessary repairs. The resulting work consists of the rehabilitation of approximately 28,700 linear feet of existing sewer lines by cured-in-place-pipe lining, service replacements by excavation, trenchless service renewals, manhole rehabilitation, and other miscellaneous sewer-related work.

The rehabilitation work will primarily occur in easements and public roadways. Construction methods will include trenchless technologies (pipe and manhole lining) to minimize excavation in streets and properties. However, some excavation will be necessary on certain streets, in existing easements, and in public rights-of-way for sewer service renewals to individual properties. Temporary piping for diversion pumping may be installed on the ground. Roadways and properties disturbed by the work will be restored to their original conditions as closely as possible in a manner that will ensure that MWS can maintain future access to the public sewer infrastructure.

The project is expected to last 12 months, although due to the nature of the work, many locations will not experience any impacts for several months at a time.
