University of South Carolina Bates House Sewer Replacement

This project was the replacement of an existing 8 inch gravity sewer line in front of the Bates House residence tower at the University of South Carolina. The sewer line was 18 feet under the concrete plaza area in front of the building. The line was determined to be structurally deficient. It was also clogging with grease. Construction had to begin and be completed over Christmas break while the cafeteria was not being used. We also designed grease traps at the cafeteria to reduce the likelyhood of future clogging. The project was completed before students arrived back on campus.
