The True Cost (or Savings!) of Trenchless Water Main Rehabilitation Projects
Publication: Pipelines 2023
ABSTRACT
There are two inevitable facts about the world we live in: buried water infrastructure continues to deteriorate and our population continues to grow. These diverging aspects create a challenging task of fully restoring critical assets while balancing the increasing needs of the entire water system. It is more important than ever to leverage the innovative technologies to provide cost-effective solutions. Some technologies are easier to see the cost savings and benefit; however, there are other technologies that are not as obvious. This presentation will highlight the true cost savings of water main rehabilitation techniques and even quantify the indirect costs that are avoided through improved construction techniques.
