Agenda Item Summary:
American Pipeline Solutions, Inc. is the only provider of Ice Pigging services. "Ice pigging" is a pipeline cleaning method that uses a pressurized slurry of ice and liquid to form a semi-solid "pig" within the pipe, which is then pushed through to remove sediment, biofilm, and other debris from the pipe walls. This method of pipe cleaning eliminates the risk of blocked lines that may occur during traditional "pigging" operations. Removing pipe deposits helps to restore lift station pumping efficiency which is lost over time due to the materials that build up in the line.
This project includes the sanitary sewer force mains for the Red Rocks, Red Rock Meadows and Villagio lift stations.
