The WSSC maintains more than 5,500 miles of water main and 5,500 miles of sewer main within Montgomery County and Prince George’s County, Maryland. The Pipeline Construction Division manages the rehabilitation and replacement of those mains as well as associated house connections and paving.
To complete this mission, the WSSC uses in-house staff as well as consultant staff to provide inspection, contract management and additional support services.
Construction Management:
CES is on multiple consultant teams that provide construction management and inspection services for water and sewer pipeline rehabilitations and replacements as well as emergency repairs. We have supplied up to 35 full-time pipeline inspectors, paving inspectors, and compaction inspectors for utility construction and reconstruction projects for all location depots and the central headquarters of WSSC.
Our Inspectors conduct quality assurance inspection and compaction testing of water and sewer pipeline construction to confirm the materials and construction practices comply with WSSC standards and specifications. Assignments include inspection of developer service extension and connection work; state/county relocation and adjustment contracts for water supply distribution and wastewater collection pipeline systems; water/sewer main extensions to existing private residences; repairs to major water main breaks; pumping station installations and upgrades; sewer relining and replacement and parallel service line reconstruction including directional drilling of pipe systems of various sizes; permanent paving repairs; landscape restorations and more.
