Naperville gets innovative

Thu, 29 September 2011

The City of Naperville Department of Public Utilities-Water has commenced work on its water main rehabilitation project, located in Chicago, Illinois, US using innovative trenchless techniques.

This project will take place on Chicago Avenue from Pembroke Road to Charles Street. Traffic patterns will be altered on Chicago Avenue throughout construction, and signs will be in place directing motorists to alternate routes.

This project will utilise an innovative Trenchless Technology consisting of cured-in-place thermosetting resin pipe that is installed inside the existing water main. The process creates a structurally sound and flexible pipe, therefore eliminating corrosion and greatly reducing future water main failures.

The use of Trenchless Technology has many advantages over conventional dig and replace methods. These include a significant reduction in pavement replacement, property restoration and other construction-related issues such as noise and dust.

Additional advantages of this Trenchless Technology include rapid installation and minimal future disruptions caused by water main breaks. In addition, the life of the existing water main is extended by more than 50 years.
