Herring Run Sewershed Improvements. Baltimore, Maryland.

WRA designed sewer and manhole rehabilitations for a portion of the Herring Run Sewershed. The project includes more than 50,000 LF of sewer pipe ranging in size from 6 to 24 inches in diameter.

As required by Baltimore’s Consent Decree with EPA/MDE, sewer system improvements included both hydraulic and structural improvements intended to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) by providing additional hydraulic capacity and reducing infiltration and inflow (I&I). Rehabilitation techniques included cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining point repairs, replacement sewers, joint grouting and rehabilitation of sewer house connections.
