Transmission Main Cleaning and Lining

Publication: Pipelines 2006: Service to the Owner

Abstract

The City of Chicago's water system supplies water to 2.9 million city consumers and 2.5 million suburban consumers for a total of 5.4 million people, which is 44% of the population of the State of Illinois. Lake Michigan is the source of the city's drinking water. The city operates two filtration plants and 12 pumping stations. The city's water distribution system has over 4200 miles of water main. The city schedules 40 to 50 miles of water main replacement projects every year. This figure is based on a water main having 100 years of useful life. Most of the city's water mains are under paved streets. Replacing old water mains by the traditional open cut method means that costly street restoration is required after a new main is installed. This paper presents the design and construction aspects of three projects. They are (1) Wabansia Avenue Transmission Main Cleaning and Lining Project, (2) Wentworth Avenue Transmission Main Cleaning and Lining Project, and (3) Harlem Avenue Transmission Main Cleaning and Lining Project. The City of Chicago has found that the lining method of pipeline rehabilitation is very satisfactory to mains meeting certain parameters.
