BNSF Diesel Shop

When digging is not an option. The sewer line under the service platform of BNSF’s Havre Diesel Shop had reached the end of the line. But this is a line that could not be dealt with in the conventional manner. Being 3 feet deep in solid concrete and under the stall of the service platform, excavation was out of the question. It was determined that pipe bursting was not a good fit for this project because of a connection at the midpoint, two 45 degree bend fittings in the line and the possibility that the line ran through the footings of the building. Lakeside came in and cleaned and inspected the line. We then subcontracted to Insituform to have them come in and apply the CIPP liner in the 6 inch line and reinstate the connection in the midpoint of the line. The challenges of this project was working with all parties involved to get a work window that would give enough room to get the liner in and cured. The liner was inspected after it was cured and found to be in specification. The line as been performing well since its rehab.
