Mr. Chips Water Line Replacement
Same-day response to water line rupture in the heart of JMU's bustling campus
An aged water line near Mr. Chips, in the heart JMU’s campus, ruptured and needed replacement. The replacement line would need to be directionally bored under a creek and existing utilities.
The Colman Engineering team was able to provide consulting services the day of the line rupture—promptly designing the line while accommodating for future campus expansions. The team coordinated with JMU, utility owners, and the horizontal directional driller.
The new water line was successfully and safely constructed to provide a necessary loop for JMU’s water distribution system.
