The document summarizes the Casselberry, Florida pipe bursting project that replaced 35 miles of asbestos cement (AC) water pipes. Some key points:
- The project received over $10 million in funding to replace the aging AC pipe network in a more sustainable way than open-cut replacement.
- Pipe bursting was used to install new HDPE pipes with minimal disruption to residents. It allowed replacing large sections of pipe per day with almost no excavation.
- Air monitoring during the project found asbestos fiber levels below OSHA limits, indicating little risk from the pipe bursting process. However, EPA views it as subject to asbestos regulations.
- The project provided a case study for research on

This document discusses the selection and implementation of delivery methods for the rehabilitation or replacement of wastewater systems. It outlines the analysis process, including evaluating existing conditions, alternative routes, procurement methods, and bid documents. The analysis process involves data collection, evaluating rehabilitation versus replacement options, installation considerations, and developing an evaluation matrix to score and rank alternatives. The goal is to select the most desirable option to minimize impacts and costs while meeting the project objectives.
This document provides an agenda and safety information for an HDD training course. It covers topics like emergency procedures, utility locating, drill rig setup, and tracking system operation. The presentation emphasizes proper preparation, safety protocols like using personal protective equipment and sweeping for power, and avoiding issues like exposed drill rods or exceeding bend radii. Emergency scenarios like gas or electrical strikes are also demonstrated to prepare crews to respond appropriately.
The document compares rehabilitation and replacement applications for pipelines. It lists the steps involved in open cut replacement which include saw-cutting, excavation, transport of spoil, backfill, compaction, concrete/asphalt, and traffic control.

Wastewater Collection System & Results-Oriented Management Using Autonomous R...OHM Advisors
At OHM Advisors' October 2015 Asset Management Planning Workshop in Midland, Michigan, RedZone's Matt Horton presents simple methodology and tools that enable simplified collection system management and smarter spending. Encouraging complete upfront system understanding, Horton talks about the benefit of using Multi-Sensor Inspection Technology over CCTV Inspection, autonomous robotic inspection technology, and planning for predicted results.
This document summarizes a presentation on horizontal directional drilling (HDD) from a geotechnical perspective. The presentation covers HDD fundamentals, geotechnical testing requirements for HDD projects, general design considerations and rules of thumb, annular pressure calculations, a case study, and different installation methods. Key aspects of HDD planning include analyzing soil and rock conditions, rig size, entry and exit angles, ground cover, and designing the drill path radius based on pipe properties and equipment limitations. Geotechnical data needs typically include soil classification, penetration testing, sieve analyses, and rock description/strength. Annular pressure calculations are used to estimate required drilling pressures and prevent inadvertent returns but have limitations as actual ground conditions are largely unknown.
This document discusses several project considerations for pipe bursting projects, including:
- What types of pipes can be burst (fracturable like clay vs non-fracturable like steel)
- Factors like soil conditions, depth of existing line, length of burst, new pipe material selection, and current video of the existing line.
- It also addresses common questions around bursting and notes pneumatic, static, impactor and compact are different bursting system options.
Digital Connection Co. Ltd. (DCL) was established in 2002 in Saudi Arabia and has grown to become a leading provider of trenchless technology and telecommunications construction services. DCL introduced the use of horizontal directional drilling for pipeline crossings which reduced construction time. Since then, DCL has completed over 100,000 meters of utility crossings using trenchless methods and constructed the longest and largest diameter HDD crossing in the world. DCL was acquired by Saudi Consolidated Contracting Company in 2013 and continues to provide engineered solutions for challenging infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Editor's Notes
When installing a steel pipe, it is usually a simple matter of inserting a set of collets into the pipe which allow the hammer to lock into the casing. In some instances, the pipe may need to be reinforced, or a fabricated adapter may be needed to match the size of the available collets to the size of the product pipe.
When installing HDPE pipe, an adapter will be needed to allow the connection of the hammer to the pipe. The easiest is a flange adapter that is fused to the pipe string, then a steel casing is added to the flange adapter, and the whole assembly is bolted up. This provides a stub of casing for the collets, which in turn, lock the hammer.
A second alternative is to fabricate a sleeve which should just fit over the HDPE. The sleeve is then bolted into the HDPE pipe. At the end of the sleeve is a plate that will butt up against the back of the HDPE. Then a casing is welded and gusseted to the plate to provide a receiver for the collets and ramming tool.
The adapter for steel casing is the easiest; it is simply a piece of casing, which need not be the same size as the pipe being installed, it can be sized to whichever set of collets is most convenient. The piece of casing is welded on top of the product, then gussets are added for increased strength. The collets will go on the front side of the arrangement so that the hammer is pounding the pipe out of the bore.
For HDPE, a steel sleeve will need to be fabricated to fit more or less snugly over the HDPE, then bolted to the pipe. A piece of casing is welded to the top of the sleeve just like for the steel extraction adapter, to act as a receiver for the ramming tool and collets.
