LARGE-DIAMETER CIPP USED AS PART OF MAJOR STORMWATER DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT GEORGIA TECH

摘要

When Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) first opened its doors in October 1888, there were only 84 students attending the school. Today, more than 125 years later, the university boasts more 21,000 undergraduate students and is ranked as one of the top 10 public universities in the United States. Georgia Tech's campus is nestled on 400 acres in the heart of Atlanta.The landscape is hilly, tree-filled and, over time, has become checkered with campus buildings ranging from administration, departmental, research, and classrooms to dormitories, student activity centers, parking garages and recreational facilities However, all this growth has taken its toll on the university's Ecosystem, particularly in the area of storm water runoff. Since the Institute began monitoring stormwater runoff, it has risen from 315 CFS in 1951 to more that twice that, 698 CFS today.
