August 25, 2020 – Envirologics CEL (Clean, Evaluate and Line) of Watermain in Boucherville, Quebec
Pre-Project Condition:
This project contained 94m of 150mm (6”) ductile iron pipe. The pipe was highly tuberculated resulting in lower water pressure and flow rates. Also, a remaining wall thickness evaluation was conducted to determine the pipe’s remaining structural properties.
