Red Oak Creek Relief Interceptor

This project featured the installation of approximately 8,720 linear feet of 27- to 30-inch (700 to 800mm) Superlit FRP gravity sewer pipe. Each section was joined using Full Face® FRP couplings, ensuring a leak-free, corrosion-resistant, and flexible joint system capable of accommodating minor angular deflections. Installation combined open-cut excavation and tunneling, with FRP pipes installed inside steel casings in sensitive areas to minimize surface disruption.

Solution

The Red Oak RO-3 Project involves the construction of approximately 8,720 linear feet (2.6 km) of 27 to 30 in (700 to 800 mm) gravity relief interceptor, replacing a reinforced concrete pipe that had reached the limits of its hydraulic and structural performance. The existing pipe is undersized for the projected wastewater flows.

The new line, built with SUPERLIT fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) pipes, provides a durable, corrosion-proof, and hydraulically efficient solution that will sustain long-term performance under aggressive soil and wastewater conditions. Installed adjacent to the existing line, the new interceptor was designed to increase system capacity, reduce maintenance, and ensure uninterrupted service during construction.

Installation was completed through a combination of open-cut excavation and tunneling, where FRP pipes were installed within steel casings to safely cross under existing  properties, utilities and roadways to minimize surface disruption.

Structural rehabilitation of Culvert in Trois-Rivieres using Channeline FRP liners

After an inspection revealed significant structural deficiencies that required the immediate closure of the road for safety reasons, Channeline FRP liner system was selected to restore traffic and extend the structure’s service life of the existing culvert - a sustainable, structural solution custom-designed to fit the existing culvert’s shape while minimizing excavation and disruption. Prefabricated with precision in arch-shaped segments, the Channeline FRP liners were rapidly installed by sliplining through a single access point, enabling efficient work execution despite challenging site conditions. The new FRP structure increased the culvert’s hydraulic capacity by nearly 8%.

East Sabine Relief Sewer – Expansion of Sanitary Sewer System with FRP Pipes

The East Sabine Relief Sewer project in Royse City, TX, is a major wastewater infrastructure upgrade designed to expand the city’s sanitary sewer system. Superlit FRP pipes will contribute to increase capacity, enhance reliability, and mitigate potential issues related to the city’s rapid growth, which has placed increasing demands on the existing infrastructure. The new sanitary sewer will be operated by the North Texas Municipal Water District.
