800 South Sewer Line

Project Overview

Payson needed to replace and upsize a deteriorated sewer line near a new high school. VanCon installed 1,553 feet of 8-inch and 455 feet of 12-inch PVC sewer line, abandoned an existing sewer line, and installed five 60-inch diameter manholes. The streets contained complex existing utilities requiring extensive potholing. A concrete road was discovered buried in the main road during excavation. An unmarked high pressure gas line was identified due to a previous VanCon project in the area and required hand shoveling around it once it was exposed. A UDOT project was concurrent with the project creating scheduling challenges which VanCon mitigated by using the same asphalt company to reduce traffic interference by asphalting both areas at once. Groundwater required pumping throughout the project.
