Saving a City’s Sewers


ABSTRACT ONLY:

A 20-year effort to evaluate and rehabilitate Newark, the extensive network of brick sewers in  Newark, New Jersey, has reached its sixth phase. The $83-million project required the widespread use of cured-in-place pipe for oddly shaped, 100- to 150-year-old brick sewers and has involved careful detailing for every lateral connection in the rehabilitated portion of the system.
