PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Members and Friends of ASCE,
E-Week is next week. With it we will
be enjoying our annual LeBarge
Cruise on the 26th and Toothpick
Bridge on the 27th. For those still in-
terested in sponsoring for either,
please contact one of the branch officers ASAP. Thank you again
for our current sponsorship from Hyatt Survey and Tierra.
Once we move out of February, our attention will move to the En-
gineering Encounters contest on April 30, 2016 and our Golf
Tournament on May 21, 2016 at the Waterlefe Golf and River
Club. Information for both will start to come out over the next
couple of weeks. Amounts will remain the same as years past to
allow for simple budget management both for the branch and in-
terested sponsors.

PRESSURE ON THE SPEEDWAY By: Insituform Technologies, LLC., Jayne Bringer, Marketing
While traditional cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) for gravity pipeline systems has been around for 40+ years, reinforced CIPP for pressurized force mains and potable water applications is still
relatively new. Today, Insituform Technologies, LLC is working to develop better technolo-gies for pressurized systems. The company is also tackling tougher projects. One such project
on a lift station and pipelines in Daytona Beach, Florida presented a variety of challenges in high profile areas.
Project Background
The 30-inch prestressed concrete cylinder pipeline (PCCP), originally a raw water transmission system that had
been taken out of service decades ago, was being converted to a sanitary sewer force main. Project design and in-
spection for the City of Daytona Beach project was performed by the engineering firm McKim & Creed. After a pub-
lic bid offering, a fiber-reinforced CIPP rehabilitation system was approved for the project. Known commercially as
Insituform® RPP™ (reinforced pressure pipe), the system is a reinforced pressure pipe liner and vinyl ester resin
system that combines traditional CIPP with specially-needled fiberglass material to provide added tensile strength
and adequate internal pressure resistance for pipeline performance.
As the general contractor for the project, Insituform was not only responsible for CIPP lining, but also for project
management and onsite field management for all subcontractors. These subcontractors performed various duties
such as CCTV, cleaning, jack and bore, installation of new ductile iron pipe and fittings and excavation and concrete
repair work.
Location
Working in Daytona Beach presented several challenges as long portions of the job were within the front parking lot
of the world’s most famous motor racetrack – the Daytona International Speedway –home of the Daytona 500 on
Speedway Boulevard (Florida Highway 92).
There were numerous considerations working in such a well-known, high-profile area. The project spanned from
late the fourth quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2015. Working around holidays and many Speedway events
such as Daytona Bike Week and Daytona 500 events presented special challenges. These events dominated the city
and presented unique logistical challenges – such as finding hotel lodging and places for crew members to eat.
The project extended from golf course access on the western end through commercial business areas, passing
through the Speedway and terminating on Daytona Beach airport property at the eastern boundary.
Project Overview
The project consisted of three separate bids. Within project A, renovations and improvements were made to the lift
station pumping sewage to the line. The second component, or part B, rehabilitated approximately 8,400 feet of 30-
inch PCCP rehabilitated using the fiber-reinforced CIPP RPP™ product. The third and final portion of the project
consisted of direct bury of a new ductile iron pipe (DIP) west of the CIPP lining termination point.
To access the jobsite, Insituform crews had to set up the project from a utility easement between holes on a golf
course, proceed through a light commercial area and then dig and replace sections with new DIP and jack and bore
under Speedway Boulevard to the Daytona speedway property and across the Speedway parking lot over to the air-
port entrance road. The jack and bore method consists of boring through the ground and then installing a casing
pipe that protects a ductile iron pipe that is pushed through the casing in order to create a horizontal shaft. In these
areas, new pipeline was installed.

Crews also employed the jack and bore method under the Daytona Beach Airport entrance road and then con-
tinued the CIPP lining portion all the way to the Daytona Beach Airport property line. Since the pipeline was 30
-inches in diameter, the liner was installed using a steel frame for the water inversion and the wet out tube was
delivered to the top of this frame using a 30-foot long roller bed. The roller bed helped the crew load the pre
wet out tube straight from the refrigerated truck up to the top of the inversion unit.
During the project, dewatered and shored trench boxes were required due to the location of the pipe in relative-
ly deep, wet sand soil. The lining was completed using a traditional downtube, water inversion and water cur-
ing process. The 8,400-foot long PCCP line was rehabilitated in two phases requiring 14 separate CIPP instal-
lations.
Subcontractor Work
The cleaning was done using conventional jet cleaning, with access provided by two subcontractors. Hazen
Construction provided the new pipe installation and the jack and bore was performed by Downtown Under-
ground, Inc. J D Weber Construction provided additional access when required pits deviated from the contract
document’s original plans due to either shot length or unexpected jobsite issues.
According to Rick Baxter, Insituform’s Operations Manager for Pressure Pipe, the PCCP line was an old, aban-
doned line and had as-builts that helped define the scope of the job. However, when the pipe was cleaned and
pre-video inspected, unforeseen bends were discovered that were not located on the original as-built.
Baxter explained that the City made the decision to excavate and replace these sections with new ductile iron
pipe to remove the original fittings. Once the fittings were removed, the pipeline was able to be properly lined
with CIPP, providing more consistent product performance throughout the length of the pipe.
Another challenge included dealing with Mother Nature. Numerous heavy rain events created area floods and
access problems. Baxter elaborated, “Several rain events, topping out at 8 inches a day, created problems with
pipe access, pit access and stability, and required re-cleaning previously prepared pipelines. Although not typi-
cal rainfall events, these storms are not unheard of in Florida. It is common that storms like the ones encoun-
tered on this project can create numerous construction challenges such as delays and rework.”
After lining, Krausz USA’s Hymax fittings were installed on the end terminations to allow the CIPP lining to be
connected to the DIP pit closure pipes, as specified on project submittals. The fittings helped the liner meet the
50 psi design requirement. Once installation was complete, the pipeline were pressure tested to comply with
trenchless industry standards at 100 psi. This marked the successful completion of the project.
