Achen-Gardner recently won Project of the Year for a siphon repair job on our Pima County JOC. This award came from the Reline America Annual Installer Meeting in Virginia. We also won third place for Most Material Installed. Great job to our crews working in Pima County!

This project entailed a wide scope of challenging services for rehabilitating old pipes. Almost 90 percent of these pipes contained mud, dirt, rocks, sand, or other blockages that decreased functionality. The team fully cleaned and inspected all of these pipes with great care before applying Reline America’s Alphaliner 1800, a UV CIPP liner designed for tough conditions. Angles of the pipes required the team to adjust its curing process along the way.

To date, Achen-Gardner has self-performed the installation of more than 460,000 LF of UV CIPP liner. For more information about this process and other related projects, visit our UV CIPP Rehabilitation page.
