Sewer Rehabilitation Project / Marquette Heights, Illinois

The majority of the sanitary sewers in the City of Marquette Heights are clay pipes dating back to around 1950. The City was experiencing numerous problems with sewer main breaks and joint problems.

In an attempt to repair the deteriorating sanitary sewers and to reduce high levels of infiltration into the sewer system the City implemented a sewer rehabilitation program. The project included preliminary cleaning and TV inspection of 34,500’ of 8” to 18” sanitary sewer, installation of a cured-in-place liner, and cutting out the service taps. Post TV inspection was performed to confirm the integrity of the cured-in-place liner system.
