This project focuses heavily on Cured‑in‑Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, a trenchless method that reinforces existing pipes by installing a resin‑soaked liner that hardens into a new pipe within the old one. This approach significantly reduces excavation, minimizes disruptions for residents, and extends the lifespan of the infrastructure by up to fifty years. Along with lining, the project includes new manhole installations, manhole raises, storm drain replacements, and select excavation where needed. Together, these upgrades will help the Sheraden community experience fewer service interruptions, improved sewer performance, and reduced long‑term maintenance impacts.
Progress & Status
Sewer Rehabilitation Work in Sheraden. Sheraden’s sewer system, like much of Pittsburgh’s infrastructure, contains aging pipes—some dating back as far as the 1840s—that have exceeded their intended service life. Many of these pipes were originally constructed from terracotta, brick, or even wood, materials that naturally deteriorate over time and can lead to structural failures, root intrusion, reduced flow capacity, and increased maintenance needs. To ensure the neighborhood’s long‑term reliability and to proactively address these issues, Pittsburgh Water is undertaking a comprehensive sewer rehabilitation program in Sheraden.
