Web Case Study: AM-Liner East Installs Millionth Foot of Premier-Pipe's Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP) Liner
Premier-Pipe has announced the installation of its millionth foot of cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) liner by licensee AM-Liner East. Hired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Norfolk District), the team is in the process of rehabilitating a 42,000-acre maneuver training center sewer infrastructure using Premier-Pipe's CIPP process so that the Army can turn over the sewer system to the town of Blackstone, VA.
Due to concerns over offset joints and gaps causing major leaks in the system, this project was originally slated for complete dig and replacement estimated to cost $12 million. However, given the benefit of utilizing the Trenchless Technology methods available in today's market, the Corps of Engineers was able to save taxpayers $4.5 million while virtually eliminating the problems and costs associated with excessive inflow/infiltration (I/I) into the sewer system.
