We have a municipal client with existing concrete sanitary lines that were installed ~48 years ago. After installation the lines have sat unused (for the most part). The land was not further developed.
A developer is now looking at completing the development of the project.
The municipal client would love this, but wants input on what they can do to verify the lines are good.
They also want the developer to do any improvements/repairs/upgrades now versus the municipality having to do maintenance 2 years from now.
What sort of due diligence/testing can be done to verify the condition of the lines?
What sort of issues might the lines have?
We can video all the lines, but are there other structural issues that might be there that do not show up?
It is approximately 2,500 LF of 15” and 18” lines and 14,000 LF of 8” lines.
Thank you in advance.
