Rehabilitation of 48-Inch and 42-Inch Steel Cylinder Concrete Pipe (SCCP) via Slipline: Las Vegas, NV
An existing primary transmission water main on Lamb Boulevard in Las Vegas, NV had developed several leaks, prompting the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) to begin design of its rehabilitation in 2011. The existing line consisted of 42-in. and 48-in. steel cylinder concrete pipe (SCCP). The extent of the leaks required rehabilitation from Wyoming Avenue to Vegas Valley Drive, a total length of approximately 5,100 ft. Lamb Boulevard is a heavily trafficked road located in a suburban area within four miles of the Vegas Strip, limiting the possibility of extensive road closures. Due to this restraint, and capacity capabilities through the rest of the system, LVVWD chose to slipline the existing SCCP with 30-in. PVC pipe. The installation included three slipline runs and one 200-foot jack-and-bore under the Flamingo Wash. This paper will review the challenges met in the design and construction leading to a successful rehabilitation of this critical transmission main for LVVWD.
