  the past 50 years to include a number of
  applications in sanitary sewer collection
  systems. There are several technologies that can
  be utilized to rehabilitate pipe and it can be
  argued that there are many applications where
  rehabilitation with chemical grout is more
  beneficial and economical than other
  alternatives.

Collection System Seminar

• 1100 1130 Chemical Grout Case Study, DGSD
• Derek Wold, P.E.
• Baxter Woodman
• There are a number of methods available for
  rehabilitating sanitary sewer systems, including
  open cut replacement, cured-in-place pipe
  (lining), slip-lining, pipe bursting, and
  grouting.  Knowing when to utilize each of these
  methods is essential to a successful
  rehabilitation program.  This presentation will
  focus on the use of chemical grout to
  rehabilitate manholes, sanitary sewer mains and
  laterals.  Chemical grouting is used to prevent
  infiltration from entering sewer joints, lateral
  connections and manholes.  A review of
  specifications, testing, and inspection of
  chemical grouting will be provided.  Flow data
  and I/I reduction from a case study that included
  grouting of an entire flow basin will be
  reviewed.
• Mr. Wold earned his Bachelors Degree from the
  University of Illinois and his Masters in
  Environmental Engineering from IIT. He is a
