In March 2019, Columbia College, located in Columbia, Missouri, discovered it had a problem. The college had an 8-inch clay pipe with hairline fractures and root intrusions at the joints. The major concern was this issue ran under a very nice courtyard with a special glass drainage system and fancy landscaping that it did not want to tear up. The drainage system had been very expensive, so tearing out 310 feet of pipe would have been a very costly mess.
Mid Mo Environmental, located in Jefferson City, Missouri, quickly decided cured-in-place pipe would offer the best solution for the college’s needs. The contracting company asked Pipe Lining Supply for help with the project.
