Sewer Pipeline Reroute and Pathway Realignment

Sewer Pipeline Reroute and Pathway Realignment

The existing Boise sewer pipeline has extensive hydrogen sulfide corrosion and needs to be replaced. The current pipe runs underneath residential backyards, and must be rerouted. An existing shared-use pathway runs adjacent to the pipeline but does not have capabilities for maintenance access. Our design will solve both these problems with a new pipeline that runs underneath a path large enough for maintenance vehicles with numerous manholes.
