Fresh water main under a river

Renovation of a steel water main in Winnipeg

Situation

The main had an active leak and was originally considered for CIPP. However, using this technology under the river with the multiple bends was not feasible. Therefore, the Primus Line flexible fabric-reinforced pipe (FFRP) was presented to the engineering consultant and the city as the best option for rehabilitation.
