The Burke View Court Sewer Emergency project addresses a broken 16-inch sanitary asbestos cement sewer pipe crossing a stream tributary to Pohick Creek. The break was found when Wastewater Collection Division investigated a report of a sanitary sewer overflow. It was determined that the line had been broken during a private dredging operation in the forebay of a pond. The pipe that was broken was under the stream and did not have casement around the pipe. The broken pipe segment was replaced and upgraded with a steel casing pipe to mitigate future damage. The project was substantially completed February 2, 2021.

Description:
The Burke View Court Sewer Emergency project addresses a broken 16-inch sanitary asbestos cement sewer pipe
crossing a stream tributary to Pohick Creek. The break was found when Wastewater Collection Division investigated a
report of a sanitary sewer overflow. It was determined that the line had been broken during a private dredging
operation in the forebay of a pond. The pipe that was broken was under the stream and did not have casement
around the pipe. The broken pipe segment was replaced and upgraded with a steel casing pipe to mitigate future
damage. The project was substantially completed February 2, 2021.
Project Overview:
• Approximately 340-feet of 16-inch asbestos cement sewer pipe was replaced with PVC and encased with 32-inch
steel pipe in the segment that crosses under the stream.
• A new manhole was installed at the upstream location to allow bypass pumping of the existing manhole so the
new line segment could be completed.
• Rip rap bank stabilization was installed at the location of the newly installed line to protect the pipe from erosion.
