“Beach Road and Lemaster Avenue Sanitary Sewer Improvements”
Foxridge, Woodland Road and Fox Hill Gravity Sewer Rehabilitation
HRSD Capital Improvement Program Project (YR010300) -
HRSD is undertaking a project to rehabilitate gravity sewer pipes along Beach Road from Westlawn to Silver Isles Boulevard with some work occurring on Silver Isles Boulevard and Lemaster Avenue. This effort will increase the system lifespan while decreasing inflow and infiltration and decreasing risk of failures. Reducing inflow and infiltration of rainwater into the sewer system should help reduce the risk of sanitary sewer overflows during heavy rain events such as Nor’easters or hurricanes. The Cure in Place Pipe (CIPP) system is anticipated to be used to accomplish this task. CIPP is one of several trenchless methods used to rehabilitate existing pipelines. Little to no digging is involved in this process, making it potentially more cost-effective and less disruptive than traditional "dig and replace" pipe repair methods. CIPP is a jointless, seamless, “pipe-within-a-pipe” process.
The sewer must first be prepared for lining; this includes cleaning the line, removing roots, sediment, and grease from the sewer (public and/or private lines) and cutting out intruding connections. The sewer lines and manholes are inspected using closed circuit television (CCTV). Like many types of pipe renewal/replacement, CIPP requires bypass pumping, which re-routes sewer flow around the section of pipe being rehabilitated. This ensures your sewer service is not interrupted. The lining process involves the insertion of a resin-saturated flexible lining into an existing sewer pipe using the manholes located within the street. The lining looks like a very large sock or flexible tube. Either air or water, under pressure, is forced into the tube, which turns the lining inside out and causes it to expand to fit tightly against the existing sewer walls. Hot air or water is circulated throughout the tube to harden the resin. When the curing process is completed (4-8 hours), a new “pipe-within-a-pipe” has been created, eliminating cracks and holes that allow rainwater and roots to enter the sewer and cause operational problems such as stoppages and overflows.
Project Cost: $6,200,000

Cure In Place Pipe Rehabilitation Fact Sheet
-
April 29, 2025
Beach Road: he contractor has completed most of the work along this portion of the project with just one section of pipe remaining to be lined. The contractor will continue restoration over the next several weeks.
Lemaster Avenue: The contractor has completed most of the work along this portion of the project with only two main pipes remaining to be rehabilitated and one pipe that needs to be lined. The main two pipes run east toward the HRSD pump station behind the baseball fields at Kecoughtan High School. The contractor will continue to perform restoration over the next several weeks.
-
This work will take place at:
- Silver Isles Boulevard from Old Buckroe Road to Beach Road and continue north on Beach Road to Westlawn Drive.
- Fox Hill Road from just southeast of Lemaster Avenue to Lemaster Avenue, Lemaster Avenue from Fox Hill Road to Fort Worth Street, Fort Worth Street from Lemaster Avenue to Harris Creek Road, Harris Creek Road from Harris Creek Road to the intersection of Little Back River.
Comprehensive traffic control plans will be implemented to minimize inconvenience.

This project is a necessary part of a larger, federally-mandated program to reduce sewage overflows during rainstorms. This project will provide updated infrastructure that will help ensure HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.
-
This project includes the rehabilitation of an existing in place gravity sewer system.
-
Disruptions to traffic will be minimized, and in most cases, a single lane of traffic will be maintained, and flagging will be used to help direct traffic as needed. If detours are to occur, advanced signage will be put in place, and flagging will be used to help direct traffic as needed.
-
The contractor will ensure that access to residences and at least one entrance to businesses will be maintained throughout construction. Trash and mail services will not be affected. If necessary, the contractor will move trash containers from within a work zone to an area accessible for pickup and will be responsible for returning them to each residence.
-
Work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (7 a.m. - 5 p.m.). However, there may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work may be necessary.
-
The work required to rehabilitate or replace sanitary sewer lines may require the lateral pipe serving your property to be removed for service and subsequently reinstated once work on the main sewer pipe has completed. This interruption of service will be temporary, and the contractor will notify you before work begins so you can plan accordingly. Sewer service typically will be restored within several hours. Your water service should not be affected by this project.
-
Where sewer and lateral pipes are dug up, asphalt, curb, gutters, driveway aprons, and grass will be removed and then restored upon completion of the project.
-
The typical construction noises such as equipment engines, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, sawing, and associated activities should be anticipated.
-
The contractor is negotiating with a private property owner for a storage area in the project vicinity and this site will be used for most of the equipment and supplies. The contractor will keep some supplies within the active work zone, in the public right-of way.
-
Construction workers will not be allowed to park their personal vehicles on the public streets. However, work trucks will be allowed to park within the active work zone.
-
The estimated cost for the project is $6.2 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
