SUMMARY:
This project consists of rehabilitating an existing 36” stormwater pipe and associated underground structures (manholes) located on Spring Street between Wright and Chase Streets. The existing stormwater pipe and manholes are several decades old and in significant disrepair in numerous locations. As a result, the roadway above the pipe and structures has fallen in several times and has become a maintenance and safety issue to traffic. To minimize disruption to the roadway and to expedite the needed repairs, an in-place pipe lining system will be utilized to avoid excavating the roadway to remove and to replace the existing infrastructure in question. This process will ensure the pipe and structure’s longevity for several more decades and will significantly reduce potential public safety issues with the roadway and access to the Downtown Library. The City of Pensacola purchases products and equipment through the Houston Galveston Area Co-Operative (HGAC). It is a co-operative which procures competitive pricing from multiple vendors for a large variety of industry services. Vortex Companies offers a Quadex Lining System QLS), which is a propriety system consisting of a geopolymer infused pipe lining product. Leon County and other Florida municipalities have used the same company under the HGAC contract for similar projects with good results.
