Contractor outlines trenchless sewer-rehab option for Georgetown
Loading...
Summary
Jon Anderson of Hoerr Construction presented cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) trenchless rehabilitation to the City Council, describing a manhole-to-manhole lining process that is typically completed in about six hours and can be inspected via CCTV for roughly $5,000 per day to determine suitability.
Jon Anderson of Hoerr Construction told the Georgetown City Council the company can rehabilitate sewer lines using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), a trenchless, manhole-to-manhole lining method the presenter called a proven technology.
Anderson said projects are performed from one manhole to the next and typically take around six hours. He told council the company can first clean and televise-inspect (CCTV) a line to assess whether CIPP is feasible — the minutes record an inspection/cleaning estimate of about $5,000 per day — and that the method cannot be used where a pipe has collapsed.
Council members did not take a formal action on the presentation; the discussion served to familiarize staff and elected officials with a repair option that can reduce surface disturbance compared with open excavation. City staff will have the option to request inspections and quotes if they choose to pursue trenchless repairs for eligible segments of the system.
The presentation is part of routine infrastructure briefings; no capital appropriation or contract award was recorded in the minutes.
