Knoxville Utilities Board: Goose Creek Inverted Siphon Replacement
As part of a 10-year sewer improvement program known as Partners Acting for a Cleaner Environment, the Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) committed to replacing their largest inverted siphon. The project schedule was accelerated because of a partial blockage in the existing system, the age of the existing system, and its limited capacity. In this paper, the authors present an alternative analysis and an accelerated design and construction process of a new dual inverted siphon system. A condition assessment initiated the process, which was followed by an evaluation of construction alternatives. A contractor was procured for early involvement to aid the selection of a final construction method and to provide assistance during the preliminary design. Upon completion of the preliminary design and a comprehensive geotechnical evaluation, the project team entered into the concurrent design and construction phase. The new system provides a dual pipe, 450 mm (18 in) and 600 mm (24 in), inverted siphon installed using conventional open-cut method.
