SEH identified an opportunity to use trenchless technology for 4,500 linear feet of trunk sanitary sewer pipes in the Edina Country Club neighborhood in Edina, Minn.

The City liked the fact that the project provided a cost-effective method of pipe rehabilitation that was also more environmentally friendly than traditional “dig and replace” pipe repair methods.

Trenchless technology works well in tight spaces, and reduces:

• Traffic disruption
• Potential for erosion, weather delays, and liability
• Disturbances to existing utilities
• Restoration efforts and costs
• Environmental impacts
• Noise and air quality inconveniences
