Insituform embarked on a project for Colorado Springs Utilities in late 2017 to rehabilitate 300 feet of 16-inch steel pipeline running along Nichols Reservoir near Pike’s Peak. The client was in the process of redesigning and adding to an existing structure at the dam, but the existing pipe would need rehabilitation as well since the new construction would make future access difficult. In addition, the steel line had two 45-degree bends and required a pressure rating of 25psi. This called for a unique pressure solution.
