with Starline cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner.
Location of the project was East Orange, N.J., in a highly
congested area with multiple freeways, underpasses and a hospital.
The project owner was Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G).

directly down an embankment and then crosses under the Garden
State Parkway and back up the other side to street level. Central
Avenue is 25 feet higher than the parkway.

and high-traffic areas where PPM is called in to solve a problem, the
