Emergency Pipeline Rehabilitation: How Trenchless Technology Saved a Critical Arizona Water Main
When a critical water transmission main fails, especially in a highly constrained environment, the margin for error is slim and the need for rapid response is paramount. A recent emergency project in southern Arizona demonstrates how advanced trenchless solutions can restore infrastructure quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption—even under some of the most challenging conditions. The situation began with a 16-inch ductile iron water transmission main that had been in con

Save the Environment. Protect Your Budget.
Pressure Pipe Rehabilitation with BulletLiner System® FFRPP Across the United States, utilities are facing the same challenge: aging water infrastructure and limited capital budgets. Traditional open-cut pipe replacement is often costly, disruptive to communities, and environmentally intensive. Fortunately, trenchless rehabilitation technologies provide a smarter alternative. For more than 40 years, trenchless methods have been widely used to rehabilitate gravity pipelines, e

Sewer Wet Wells in the United States: History, Functionality, Deterioration, and Rehabilitation
Across the United States, aging water infrastructure is demanding long-overdue attention. For decades, buried assets—largely out of sight and out of mind—have been underfunded and deferred. While drinking water systems often dominate headlines, sewer collection systems are deteriorating just as rapidly. At the center of these systems are sewer wet wells —critical structures responsible for collecting and temporarily storing wastewater before it is pumped to treatment faciliti

Beyond Traditional NDT: How Advanced Inspection Delivered Critical Insight into a Wisconsin Forcemain
For more than 140 years, the City of Marshfield, Wisconsin has maintained a strong commitment to environmental protection and reliable wastewater service. Serving nearly 20,000 residents, the city operates over 138 miles of sanitary sewer infrastructure supported by lift stations and forcemains that transport wastewater to treatment facilities. Like many utilities, Marshfield historically focused inspection and maintenance efforts on gravity sewers, while pressurized forcemai
