Peoria-Beardsley Road Force Main Rehabilitation
The longest rehabilitated pipeline in Arizona history.
Dibble provided assessment, design, and construction administration services for the City of Peoria Beardsley Wastewater Reclamation Facility 8-inch diameter ductile iron pipe waste activated sludge force main. Dibble assessed the condition of 13,900-linear feet of force main by extracting samples from the force main and conducting various tests which included wall thickness, stray current, soil corrosivity, chemical spectroscopy, and metallurgical. Dibble determined the force main was in various stages of deterioration and provided design options for rehabilitation, utilizing a sliplining technology. Several slip lining products were considered, but fusible polyvinyl chloride (FPVC) pipe was recommended base on length of installation and cost.
