5 Million Gallon Tank & 30” Water Line Construction Updates Update: Construction Progress as of December 14, 2015  The beams and forming plywood have been removed from the inside of the 5MG Tank. The fork lift has been lowered through the roof opening and the crews are breaking down the support scaffolding. It is anticipated that the scaffolding will be removed from the tank by December 23, 2015.  Forming of the roof for the Valve Box continues to proceed.  The subcontractor has completed installing the 30” waterline from 5400 South to the tank valve box. The line will be tested on December 14, 2015.  Removing of the existing piping at Charlotte Avenue near the Cougar Pump station and the installation of the new waterline piping configuration is completed and the area prepared for the lining of the existing water line.

Existing Pipe configuration near the Cougar Pump Station. Existing valves and connections were heavily corroded and leaking water. Exposed configuration required additional fittings and connections to work with the existing piping.

After the inside of the pipe is cleaned, the pipe is once again flushed with a jet nozzle. The flushing creates a significant amount of debris from build up over the 70 plus years the line has been in service.

Existing feed line from pump station to storage tanks.

New piping configuration.

The pipe to be lined is now prepared for the lining. A flushing truck with a water jet nozzle flushes the water line.

The HDPE liner is pulled through a mandrel that compresses the diameter of the pipe temporarily to a diameter less than the existing pipe diameter. Once installed, over a short period of time, the pipe will expand to its original diameter creating a tight fit between liner and pipe.

The mandrel that the pipe is pulled through to compress the natural diameter of the HDPE pipe.

The pipe is prepared by placing a rail assembly on the end of the pipe. The pipe end is heated for 3 minutes and a HDPE flange is fused to the end of the pipe and then cools for 6 minutes. The flange assembly is then bolted to the pipe.

The pipe liner is now ready to be pulled into the existing 14” water pipe.

The pipe liner is now inserted and pulled through the existing water pipe. It took 15 minutes to pull the liner through the entire reach of the existing pipe.

The opposite end of the pipe is then prepared in a similar manner. The pipe end is stretched approximately 12 inches beyond the end of the pipe and the flange is fused to the pipe.

As the pipe relaxes back to its memory length and diameter the HDPE liner forms a tight fit to the inside of the pipe as well as the fused flanges on the end.

The pipe is then chlorinated, pressure tested, and leak tested. Once it passed these tests, and the water quality test, the lined pipe was then tied back to the existing water piping system and placed into service.

Update: Construction Progress as of December 1, 2015  The insulation blankets have been in place since the night of the concrete roof pour. Heat has been pumped into the interior of the tank during the initial 5 days since the pour.  The 7-day concrete test cylinders all tested in excess of 4000 PSI compressive strength.  Tensioning of the tank roof cable reinforcement has been completed.  Contractor is installing the 30” waterline from 5400 South to the tank valve box.  Preparation has begun for the lining of the existing 14” water line near 4800 West.
