| Project Description | | One-Two Sentences
This project consists of replacing existing failed 8-steam
and 4-condensate that was originally installed in 1995.
Project also includes the installation of 3 new manholes as
existing are failing (leaking ground water) and are too
small for safe access/maintenance and modifications to an
existing steam tunnel where the steam line crosses. This
section of main piping is the last of the original installed
piping when the Student Recreation Center was built on Main
Campus in 1995. All other downstream piping of this
originally installed piping has been replaced. This section
of campus, around the Central Campus Warehouse, is very
sensitive operationally and has significant pedestrian
traffic daily. We anticipate a significant amount of
unforeseen conditions with abandoned utilities and other
unknown conditions as this part of campus is very old and
documents of existing conditions are few. Site logistics
will be difficult and will require much longer durations and
temporary conditions than typical. Bypass steam connections
will be required at three existing manholes while new
manholes are constructed. Construction is expected to take
9 months. | |
