Failed Pipe in New Jersey Repaired Using Pipe Lining

In May 2015, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, Bureau of Drainage Engineering & Operations was faced with an urgent situation. A state owned 18” corrugated metal storm drainage pipe crossing under a main intersection in the City of Millville, NJ had failed. A major sink hole at the intersection was caused due to several holes in the drainage pipe that allowed the road base to cave into the pipe. This area of road was temporarily overlaid with a steel plate to protect traffic until a proper repair could be made.
