Pipeline Crossings - Highway, Railroad and Stream Crossings
For some potable water pipelines, digging is not an option. In the past, a way to renew deteriorating transmission lines beneath highways, railroads, streams and environmentally sensitive areas had often proven a headache for engineering professionals and transportation officials. Today, Insituform Blue® offers a variety of structural and semi-structural solutions to renew the integrity of the underground pipelines that deliver clean drinking water without disruption.
The following case studies highlight real-world problems and the innovative solutions provided by Insituform Blue®.
