Wastewater Conveyance Engineering DivisionAbstractThe Bureau of Engineering (BOE) and Sanitation (BOS) had embarked on an effort to systematically review and study the secondary sewer system throughout the City of Los Angeles, which is programmed to assess its physical and hydraulic conditions and predict the future needs of the wastewater capital improvement. This is so-called, "SSRP (Secondary Sewer Renewal Project) 60 Mile-Program." The secondary sewer system consists of approximately 220 separate sewer sheds with sewers less than 16 inches in diameter. The basic planning strategy is to evaluate the sewers in priority order using ranking and defect categories, maintenance history, pipe age, material, spill history, and other factors. Based on this data base including CCTV of sewer pipes, BOE engineers do the decision making process whether the sewer should be rehabilitated by way of lining or spot repair. The 60 miles of sewer lines would be renewed to correct the current situation where leaking and non-functioning pipes are prevalent.
