2018 ICRI Paper: Leak Mitigation of Dynamic Cracks

Published Year: 2018

  • Concrete will crack – that is a fact.However, since concrete constantly shrinks, expands, and often leaks, the use of a flexible polyurethane resin to permanently seal active water leaks is the optimum choice to create a water-free environment.

2015 No-Dig Paper: Cost-Effective Private Property I&I Reduction

Published Year: 2015

  • The focus of the paper is to show the step-by-step progression of a private property I&I reduction program in the City of Wauwatosa using acrylamide grout. The project included soaker hose rain event simulation, lateral lining and chemical grouting.

2015 UCT Paper: Eliminating Infiltration Requires a Holistic Approach in Naperville, Illinois

Published Year: 2015

  • In April 2013, Chicago and its neighboring suburbs experienced a 100-year rain event resulting in extensive flooding, sewer system surcharges, and basement back-ups.

2014 iSTT Paper: Pipe Grouting Longevity Effectiveness Evaluation

Published Year: 2014

  • These grouting projects were implemented using specifications largely consistent with the new NASSCO grouting specifications. This paper will review the requirements for testing and grouting under which the original work was done.

2014 No-Dig Paper: Pipe Grouting Longevity Effectiveness Evaluation

Published Year: 2014

  • There have been many debates regarding the long term effectiveness of a sewer grouting approach. ARCADIS selected 12 sewer segments that had been grouted under various sewer rehab projects for which detailed records of testing and grouting were collected.
