Over 20 million people visit the resorts
of Utah, USA, to enjoy ‘the best snow
in the world’ during ski season. As well
as an increase in tourism, Utah has
been experiencing significant growth,
and this trend is expected to continue
well into the future. As a result, local
municipalities are taking a closer look at
their current infrastructure.
The South Valley Sewer District (SVSD),
which encompasses the southern third
of Salt Lake County, is investing roughly
€1.9 million in its infrastructure. District
municipalities reportedly have more
than 4,400 building lots that are not yet
connected to the existing system.
To solve the problem, relief lines and
new facilities, including a wastewater
treatment plant, are being designed and
constructed. Since March 2002, SVSD
officials have been seeking approval for
a treatment plant located in Riverton
that will enable them to keep pace
with the growth in southwest Salt Lake
County.
To transport the sewage to the new
facility, additional piping networks are
necessary. One of the most recent
projects was the Jordan River Outfall
Sewer. The primary purpose for this
new line was to mitigate the capacity
problems with the current DN 1200
line that has been in operation since
the early 1980s. The project included
approximately 1.2km of Hobas
CC-GRP pipe DN 1200 and 16 DN 2000
manholes.
The installation was mostly direct bury
with several tunnelling installations of
Hobas pipes through steel casings.
On both occasions the pipe installed
well and had no problems with visible
deflection and joint leakage, according
to Bart LaMont, project manager, Allied
Construction and Development.
