A floor drain in a trash room <br />kept overflowing with sewer creating major problems to the building condominium association. Line is <br />cleaned by constant jetting but the problem persists. <br /> <br />Premiere Design Solutions, Inc. (PDS) was contracted by the Building Association to conduct an <br />existing sanitary sewer assessment to verify condition of the pipe, find the reason the constant sewer <br />back-ups and devise a solution. <br /> <br />During the Condition Assessment phase, PDS conducted extensive TV inspections of the pipe along with <br />visual inspections trough trenched dug underneath the slab and researched available as-built <br />information. The downstream gravity collection system was also inspected since sewer line was found <br />flowing full at all times. It was found that the existing 12” collector sewer line under the first floor of the <br />building is starting to show corrosion signs and numerous depressions or “bellies” creating low spots in <br />the pipe with solidification and calcification inside the pipe, reducing the effective inside diameter of the <br />line considerable. Pipe blockages were also found in the gravity collection system outside the building. <br />Findings were presented in a report. <br /> <br />PDS proposed a repair design including correction of pipe slope with hangers, replacement of structural <br />deficient piping, and extensive cleaning not only of the pipe under the building but the collection system <br />outside the building. After repairs were completed and cleaning conducted, pipe was flowing freely and <br />sewer overflows have stopped. Repairs were conducted with no disruption to residents. <br /> <br />Services performed by PDS staff: <br /> Condition Assessment of Sewer Line <br /> Repair Procedure and Remediation Alternatives <br /> Permitting Coordination with Permitting Agencies <br /> Design and Specifications for Sewer Repairs and new Sewer System <br /> Construction Management and repair monitoring <br />Ocean View Gravity Sewer Assessment <br />Ocean View Building “B” Condominium Associations <br />City of Sunny Isles, Florida <br /> <br /> <br />148
