✨ Stormwater Pipe Cleaning ✨
As the City of Englewood and it's residents continue to Flow it Forward and invest in the city's infrastructure, important steps were taken in 2020 to help keep us safer from flooding. Watch as more than one mile of stormwater pipe was cleared, resulting in the removal 300 cubic yards of debris. That’s enough to fill twenty dump trucks!

This
equates
to
an
astounding,
20,
dump
truck
loads
of
material
debris,
included
a
12-foot
section
of
pipe
that
had
buckled
and
was
lodged
within
the
pipe
three
five
foot
pieces
of
asphalt
and
one
five
foot
piece
of
concrete
were
also
removed
due
to
the
confined
conditions
within
the
pipe.
Much
of
this
work
had
to
be
performed
by
hand
with
saws
and
jackhammers.
A
Following
the
clean
out
inspection,
video
was
taken
to
determine
the
pipe's
condition.
A
flowable
concrete
mix
was
used
to
fill
voids
created
by
corrosion.
This
project
will
help
prevent
flooding
and
sinkholes
by
more
effectively
carrying
water
away
from
land
streets
and
parking
lots
and
into
the
south
platte
river.
