The rehabilitation of 10,000 feet of 42 inch diameter sewerage pipelines in the commercial and historic downtown areas of Mankato will be completed by Insituform using CIPP in a contract worth $US5.1 million.

General Manager for Insituform’s Central Region, Bobby O’Dell, said “Insituform first introduced CIPP nearly 40 years ago and we are pleased to now use this Trenchless Technology to rehabilitate nearly two miles of pipelines in Mankato. We are confident that we will exceed the city’s expectations as we complete this project.”

Insituform will manage locally-owned subcontractors throughout the project to provide cleaning and CCTV inspection, manhole replacement and rehabilitation.

It is expected that crews will begin to install CIPP in September 2010 and have the project completed within twelve months.
