FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 2, 2006Detroit, Michigan Largest Non circular CIPP pipeline rehabilitation completed between Jefferson Ave and the Detroit River. A triple barrel 7’0” by 8’-0” rectangular box culvert outfall pipe was successfully lined using methods described in ASTM F 1216. “With a total rehabilitation length of 3600 lineal feet, we are not aware of any larger rehabilitation of this type in the world”, reported Fred Tingberg, Lanzo Lining’s vice president and QA/QC officer. The Cities’ DWSD oversaw the mammoth design build effort of Lakeshore Engineering/Lanzo Lining Services/ D’Alessandro Contracting Group called Joseph Campau B 10 outfall. Challenges included working through four weeks of ‘round the clock’ shifts in sub freezing weather while using the “over the hole” inversion technique where resin is catalyzed and pumped into the tube onsite. The Applied Felts tube was kept warm by using a sequence of heated tarp enclosures, while the Cook Composites resin was furnished as close to 50 degrees as possible given outside temperatures which dipped to 8 degrees Fahrenheit during the process. “At times resin needed to be mechanically agitated and warmed” said Ali Feiz, Lanzo’s Chemical Engineer and jobsite coordinator. Approximately, 1,000,000 pounds of Isophthallic Polyester resin was utilized in the effort according to Robert C. Canon, Composites One account manager and logistics coordinator.
