Largest water main replacement project to date in North America. The trenchless pre-chlorinated #pipebursting process replaced 10 miles of water distribution main ranging from 6-inch through 12-inch. All work was completed in mature residential neighborhoods in which the value of the #trenchlesstechnology was realized by reducing customer impact during construction.
