MONTRÉAL, Oct. 30, 2018
/PRNewswire/ - During the weekend of October 20th, Sanexen Water, Inc., a
member of the LOGISTEC family, successfully completed major repairs
in the Lincoln Tunnel in New York
City with minimal impact. When the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) began planning repairs and
upgrades to Route 495 and the Lincoln Tunnel, one of the
requirements was to repair two cast iron cement-encased water main
sections at each end of the tunnel that supply water for fire
prevention. Sanexen Water was selected for its unparalleled
expertise and its innovative Aqua-Pipe trenchless technology, to
repair these aging water mains while other construction work was in
progress. New trenchless technology is used for the replacement or
rehabilitation of existing underground infrastructure with minimal
excavation and disruption to surface traffic.
"A lot of planning goes into a project like this. We have to
ensure that all the pieces are in place so that, for example, when
they close the Lincoln Tunnel at night for construction work, our
trucks get in there and work on installing the Aqua-Pipe liner to
repair the watermain," explains Benoit Côté, President of Sanexen
Water. "Our goal, especially for a project located on a major urban
thoroughfare such as this one, is to work closely with contractors
like J Fletcher Creamer which performs excavation work,
allowing us to access the entry to the pipe so that our experts can
work safely and efficiently to get the job done."
Sanexen Environmental Services Inc. ("Sanexen") is recognized as
a leader in site remediation and water main rehabilitation. Over
the past 30 years, Sanexen has completed projects totalling more
than one billion dollars in urban
centres and remote northern communities across the USA and Canada. The team of over 450 environmental and
water technology experts, researchers and developers has
implemented innovative technologies adapted to the needs of private
companies and public organizations faced with various environmental
challenges.
This is not the first time Sanexen Water has worked in
New York City. A few years ago,
Sanexen successfully repaired a section of water main in one of its
busiest streets, Madison Avenue, quickly and efficiently, and with
minimal impact to traffic. Sanexen Water, now working in several
major urban centres across the USA
and Canada, is seen as a key
partner in addressing the challenges our cities face with regards
to our aging water main infrastructure.
