Rehabilitating Eight Miles of Large Diameter Aging Infrastructure

0

The Central Trunk Sewer is an eight mile pipeline that conveys both residential and industrial
sewage for Sacramento County. Constructed in the 1960’s of unlined reinforced concrete, the
pipeline ranges from 33-inches to 60-inches in diameter and is located deep under major roads,
residential backyards, creeks, protected wetlands, and a state highway. Nearly 50 years of
corrosion has severely deteriorated the pipeline and restoring the structural stability of the
pipeline in a cost effective manner with minimal decrease in capacity and distribution to the
community became the primary goals for the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD). To meet
these goals SASD and their design consultant West Yost Associates (West Yost) chose cured-inplace
pipe (CIPP) to rehabilitate the entire eight mile pipeline alignment.
Throughout construction several lessons have been learned from this large CIPP project. This
paper will discuss some of the lessons learned as well as considerations for owners and designers
regarding quality control and quality assurance of liner samples, bypass vs. plugging sewer
flows, environmental mitigation monitoring and reporting program, public outreach, air quality
regulations, construction noise mitigation, and debris estimating.
