Site work for a water / sewer project in Fargo, North Dakota. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

In accordance with the Construction Scope of Work: The Fargo Federal Building and Court House has interior storm drain leaks. The building storm drains are located inside the exterior walls. The leaks cause damage to interior finishes during heavy precipitation. The intent of this project is to repair (5) storm drains using non-invasive methods to line the pipe. The original storm drain system was replaced with PVC from the first-floor ceiling to the basement. The remaining storm drain piping that requires lining is galvanized iron pipe, concealed within existing clay wall tile from the roof ledge to the ceiling of the first floor approximately (40) feet below. The existing drains are 4" in diameter with two 45-degree offsets from the roof ledge to the interior wall chase. The roof has a stone railing parapet near the roof drain around the perimeter of the building. This is a historic building, and all exterior surfaces will be protected from damage. Work will need to be performed during normal business hours. Roof Access is via roof hatch requiring traversing between building additions, and larger items may require a boom lift to position. Individual protective equipment to include fall protection is required.
