Sewer Rehabilitation Project Planned for Portions of Orcutt Avenue and Mercury Boulevard

Body

 

HRSD is undertaking a project to rehabilitate or replace four miles of gravity sewer pipelines along Orcutt Avenue, Mercury Boulevard, Aberdeen Road and Edgewood Drive in the city of Hampton. This effort will also reduce the risk of sanitary sewer overflows during heavy rain events such as Nor'easters or hurricanes. The project is needed to replace and rehabilitate a pipeline that was built in the 1940s that has reached the end of its useful life.

Project Overview
The work will take place in the public right of way of two main corridors: Mercury Boulevard from Aberdeen Road to Orcutt Avenue and Orcutt Avenue from Todds Lane to Mercury Boulevard. Two types of construction methods will be utilized as needed. The first method, ‘trench work’, the existing pipeline (replacement work shown in red on the map) will be dug up and replaced with new pipe. The second method, ‘trenchless’, (rehabilitation work shown in yellow on the map) the existing pipeline will be lined and accomplished without digging. All work will require a surrounding work zone within the right of way and roadway for safety.
