Project Objective
A contractor working for JEA (IPR) replaced a portion of failing sanitary sewer main line Saddle Road. Failures to sewer mains can potentially cause major sewer back-ups, environmental harm and roadway issues. This project will increase the reliability of the sewer system and help prevent future sewer main breaks.
Construction Conditions
This sewer installation was completed using the pipebursting 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.

Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area will typically begin 2-3 weeks after the sewer line has been repaired, tested and cleared for use. Upon completion of the project, any existing pavement, grass, curb, gutter, driveways or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
