Presenter outlines Levi N Sullivan storm sewer pilot using polypropylene pipe
Summary
A presenter described the Levi N Sullivan storm sewer extension as a pilot using polypropylene pipe to address sump-pump-related winter icing and slipping, saying the material is about 30% cheaper than concrete and easier to install.
A presenter described the Levi N Sullivan storm sewer extension project as a pilot that will add storm sewer to a street that previously had none and to address a sump-pump issue causing winter icing and slipping.
The presenter said the project is using a newer material, polypropylene pipe, and that the extension will improve safety by removing standing water and reducing slip hazards. "This street previously did not have storm sewer at all, and we're extending it to fix a sump pump issue causing an icing issue in the winter and also slipping issue," the presenter said.
The presentation identified the Levi N Sullivan work as one of three local pilot projects this summer using the pipe, alongside Ambassador Court reconstruction and the Tanglewood Court outfall stabilization. The presenter characterized the combination of availability, lower material cost and install speed as a primary reason for the pilot.
