Join us for an educational luncheon on the project background, design and tendering, and installation of ARROW Utilities’s 1350 mm diameter concrete sewer pipe.
 
ARROW Utilities (formerly Alberta Capital Region Wastewater Commission) identified 3.2 km of 1350 mm diameter concrete sewer pipe in need of repair or replacement. CIPP lining was selected as the rehabilitation method. The pipe alignment runs through an environmentally sensitive area and is close proximity to residences in other areas. The project was planned to minimize liner installations. A unique process, over the hole wetout (OTHW) was required to accommodate the overweight liners. For this process, the tube is transported to site dry, where a mobile wet out facility is constructed. This is one of few OTH installations in Western Canada.

This presentation describes the project background, design and tendering, and installation with the OTH system.
