Document Description
The proposed project requires the excavation of soil and the removal and replacement of a damaged sewage pipe connected to Building 490, Oaks Hall. A trench approximately 10 feet long by 4 feet deep will be excavated exposing the damaged 4 inch cast iron and 4 inch clay section of the pipe. This section will be replaced by a 4 inch ABS pipe and will include the installation of a cleanout and a copper relief valve.
Because excavation and replacement of the damaged pipe will be performed by hand, no large tools or equipment other than what can be transported in a regular size pickup truck will be used. Any staging or equipment laydown will occur in the adjacent parking lot, 10 feet from Building 490.
