US Pipelining, LLC Completes U.S Military Infrastructure Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP) Pipe Lining Project

One of Nation’s Most Distinguished Military Landmarks Receives Benefits from Trenchless CIPP Rehabilitation US Pipelining, LLC., an emerging leader in Cured-In-Place-Pipelining solutions (CIPP), announced today the completion of a military project which included cured-in-place-pipe rehabilitation at the Fort Lesley J. McNair Army Post in Washington, DC. Fort McNair, a part of the Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, is the headquarters of the Army’s Military District of Washington and home of the National Defense University, as well as the official residence of the US Army’s vice chief of staff.

The CIPP rehabilitation involving a large diameter storm culvert running beneath the military facility and draining to the Potomac River was part of a larger infrastructure project directed by the U.S Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and ACS Construction (formerly Akima Construction Services).

“This was a tidal line which means it was sensitive to the tidal flows of the Potomac River” states Jeremy Bowman, President, US Pipelining. “As such, special planning and logistics were required to isolate the 48” diameter line. Working with the team at ACS, the dewatering and construction phases were successfully completed without issue,” said Bowman.

“Cured-In-Place-Pipe lining has become a widely used and accepted technology globally as a low-cost alternative to traditional trench and replace methods, “said Bowman. “Industry can either close down operations, interrupt traffic flow to dig and replace failing infrastructure or, option a non-invasive rehabilitation process which rehabilitates the failed pipe from the inside out without the need for excavation. Companies and municipalities worldwide are now opting for a faster, more cost-effective means of rehabilitation. That is our cured-in-place (CIPP) technology.”
