The City of Atlanta: Microtunneling Projects Using Vitrified Clay Jacking Pipe
The City of Atlanta is in the process of completely overhauling the city's water and sewer infrastructure in a period of only 10 years. Clean Water Atlanta is a $3.9 billion collection of projects and one of the most ambitious and costly water and sewer improvement programs ever undertaken by a major city in the United States. With many segments of the program already complete, three major sewer separation projects are scheduled for completion this year. The three sewer separation projects are: 1. The Stockade Basin Sewer Separation Project which involves construction of 59,000 feet of new sewers, 360 new manholes and 400 stormwater inlets with traps. 2. The McDaniel Basin Sewer Separation Project which includes construction of 65,000 feet of new sanitary sewers, 400 new manholes, 700 new sewer connections and 360 stormwater inlets with traps. In addition, 55,000 feet of water lines are being replaced. 3. The Greensferry Sewer Separation Project involves construction of 56,700 feet of new sewers, 381 manholes, and more than 900 service connections and replacement of stormwater inlets with traps. The project also included 48,000 linear feet of water distribution lines and service connections. Most of the construction on the three sewer separation projects was done using conventional open cut construction necessitating numerous sidewalk and street closures. However, trenchless construction has played a role in each of the projects with key segments where excavation was difficult or impossible being completed by microtunneling. Huxted Tunneling, Palmetto, FL had the tunneling contract for the McDaniel Basin project. Huxted crews made 17 drives to install 200 linear feet of 20-inch pipe, 1,145 linear feet of 24-inch pipe, and 3,531 linear feet of 30-inch pipe—all Mission Clay No-Dig Pipe installed by Slurry Microtunneling (MT). Huxted had the contract for all microtunneling on the McDaniel Basin project, and subcontracted an additional 2,204 feet of pipe installation completed by Pilot Tube Microtunneling (PTMT) to Allied Contracting, Sylvania, GA, a specialist in microtunneling, pipe jacking, auger boring, and liner plate tunnels.
