One crew handled this commercial water job on Coolidge Highway in Oak Park from start to finish: from the road to the inside of the building.
The job: a new water service without shutting anyone off
This commercial building needed a new water service tapped off the main at Coolidge Highway. The main had to stay in service the whole time. Shutting it down would have cut water to the neighbors and the businesses nearby.
Why it had to be a live tap
A live tap connects a new service to a water main while the main stays in service. Nothing gets shut down. With neighbors and businesses on the same main, that’s what this job called for.
How we did it
- Set up a road closure and traffic control on Coolidge Highway to keep traffic and the crew safe.
- Saw-cut and broke out the concrete.
- Dug down to the main and shored the hole to keep the crew safe.
- Installed the tapping saddle and made the live tap.
- Ran a new copper water service with a new curb stop.
- Trenched to the building and brought the new line inside.
The result
The building has a new copper water service from the main, with a new curb stop, brought inside the building. The main stayed in service through the tap, so the neighbors and nearby businesses kept their water.
