Top 5 Questions to Ask Before Launching a Pipeline Replacement Project
Here are the top five questions every project team should ask before starting a pipeline replacement or rehabilitation project.
1. What Is the Current Condition of the Pipeline?
Before starting any work, conduct a thorough CCTV pipeline inspection to evaluate the condition of your underground infrastructure.
Knowing whether you’re facing structural damage, infiltration, corrosion, or blockages will guide you toward the most cost-effective and durable solution — whether it’s repair, rehabilitation, or full replacement.
2. What Are the Most Suitable Rehabilitation Methods?
Depending on the inspection results, consider trenchless rehabilitation options such as CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) lining, grouting, or pipe bursting. These methods minimize surface disruption, reduce costs, and extend pipeline lifespan.
Working with an experienced pipeline rehabilitation contractor like DRC Construction ensures you get the right solution for your system’s needs.
3. Have All Permits and Regulations Been Reviewed?
Pipeline work involves compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. Make sure your contractor understands Colorado’s municipal codes and environmental standards.
At DRC Construction, our team has extensive experience working with municipalities across Colorado and its surrounding regions, ensuring your project meets all compliance requirements.
4. What Is the Project’s Impact on the Community?
Every pipeline replacement project affects local traffic, businesses, and residents.
Create a plan that includes public communication, traffic management, and safety protocols. Choosing minimally invasive techniques like hydrovac excavation and trenchless technology can significantly reduce surface disruption.
5. Who Is the Right Contractor for the Job?
The success of your project depends on hiring a contractor with proven expertise in pipeline inspection, cleaning, and rehabilitation.
