54th Ave. North Force Main Replacement (PID 005584B)

The project involves replacing approximately 1137 linear feet of an existing 24-inch prestressed concrete cylinder pipe force main along 54th Avenue North, extending from the west side of St. Joes Creek to 74th Street North, then tying-in to the existing 36” force main at the South Cross Bayou Water Reclamation Facility. The replacement pipe consists of approximately 1165 LF of 24-inch PVC pipe. The project includes the installation of air valves and the restoration of impacted areas. • The project is a preventative measure due to past pipe failures and sewage spills. • The proposed replacement pipe will be a combination of standard PVC pipe, fusible PVC pipe, and restrained joint pipe. • The project requires a combination of open-cut trenching and horizontal directional drilling. • The contractor will be responsible for restoring impacted areas, including landscaping, road milling, and paving.
