Indianapolis Lafayette and White River Parkway Large Diameter Sewer Rehabilitation

Byler, Samuel R. / Foster, Shari M.

Citizens Energy Group (Citizens), a public charitable trust, owns and operates the Indianapolis wastewater collection system comprised of roughly 3,000 mi of 8″ to 120″ sewers in Indianapolis, Indiana. Their approach to system rehabilitation is proactive, rehabilitating sewers and manholes through targeted projects before there is a problem. Citizens partnered with Granite Inliner, a rehabilitation solutions provider, for the Lafayette and White River Large Diameter Sewer Rehabilitation Project. The project consisted of 4,100′ of 42″–54″, 35′ deep sanitary interceptor sewer cleaning and cured-in-place-pipe lining (CIPP). It was located within 200′ of the White River, required an 8 MGD dry weather bypass, and crossed a golf course, two thoroughfares, heavily wooded areas, and an apartment building construction jobsite. The effort began in 2019 with a research assignment through Citizens’ Contractor Planning Partnership. Citizens and Inliner worked collaboratively to plan every detail of the project, thereby minimizing risk and ensuring readiness to proceed. Construction was completed in 2021 and came in within budget.
