2024 CIPP Sanitary Sewer Repair Project

Project Type:
Sewer
Project Status: 
Approved

The City of Gladstone recently executed a new intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Oak Lodge Water Services, committing to correct significant deficiencies in the Gladstone/Oaklodge wastewater system by December 31, 2027, with the first phase beginning in 2024.  The CIPP Sanitary Sewer Repair Project will address concerns of aging infrastructure and eliminate additional occurrences of infiltration and inflow to our sanitary sewer system.

What is CIPP?  

Cured-in-Place-Pipe Lining (CIPP) is a trenchless method of sewer construction. It requires little or no digging and significantly less time to complete than other sewer repair methods. It is suitable for repairing both short and long runs of pipes that do not need to be upsized. 

CIPP involves inserting a flexible liner inside the existing pipe, inflating the liner, and exposing it to heat or ultraviolet light to dry and harden the liner inside the pipe. The liner essentially forms a smooth surface inside the existing pipe, restoring it to near-new condition.

When Will the CIPP Project Begin?

Oxbow Construction will be mobilizing the week of April 15th with line cleaning and tv'ing to start on April 17th.  Lining and pipe repairs will begin the week of April 22nd, with project completion planned no later than the end of April.
