Abstract:

The Framingham Extension Sewer (FES) was constructed of reinforced-concrete pipe in the mid-1950s as part of the wastewater collection system for the greater Boston area. Age and hydrogen sulfide corrosion have caused deterioration in the pipeline over the years. As a result, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) is implementing a $50-million program to rehabilitate the 9.5 km long FES. Because the pipeline passes through residential neighborhoods and other politically or environmentally sensitive areas, the MWRA chose a trenchless construction technology in which a cured-in-place liner tube is installed inside the existing pipe.
