Some standalone projects included a rehabilitation design project for approximately 550 manholes and two phases of sewer rehabilitation that served approximately 5,200 residents. Other projects included designing approximately 7000 linear feet of 18-36" fusible PVC pipe to be direct drilled for use as a sanitary force main, and a gravity sewer line design that reversed flow direction to compensate for capacity needs to a particular pump station.
