Spiniello’s work included the cleaning and sliplining of 26,000-feet of 16-inch fusible PVC pipe within an existing 24-inch cast iron water main, as well as over 30,000-feet of an 80-inch diameter watermain bypass to ensure resident water access during construction. The water main being rehabilitated runs closely to the Northeast Amtrak corridor, making access a challenge (the existing water main was originally used to supply steam-engine trains with boiler water). Since there are no reliable maps for the location of the existing watermain is located, Spiniello faced the additional challenge of locating valves and fittings relevant to the sliplining effort.
