Project Objective
A contractor working for JEA (IPR) replaced portions of failing sanitary sewer main line located behind homes on Abelia Road. This project will increase the reliability of the sewer system and help prevent future sewer main breaks.
This sewer installation was completed using the pipe bursting method of construction. This method is less disruptive to neighborhoods than the traditional open-cut method of replacing sewer lines and the overall project duration is typically shorter.
Watch a video to learn more about the pipe bursting method of construction.
Construction Conditions
Construction occurred in the City of Jacksonville's streets, rights of way and easements.
Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area typically begins within 2-3 weeks after the lines have been installed, tested and cleared for use. Any existing pavement, grass, curb, gutter, driveways, or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to their pre-construction condition.
