Higher education, around the academic calendar

Residence halls, libraries, and academic buildings: 27 completed higher-education buildings, including work at the University of Virginia and Harvard University.

The challenge

On campus, a failed pipe closes a residence hall, a library, or a lab, and the academic calendar does not wait.

27completed higher-education buildings

Our experience

What we see in Higher Education

  1. 01

    The University of Virginia

    Charlottesville is one of our strongest higher-education relationships, with a completed case study at Clemons Library and a second building already in the pipeline.

  2. 02

    Harvard University Housing

    Infrastructure rehabilitation across nine Harvard University buildings, including the Prescott Street housing.

  3. 03

    Working Around Occupied Buildings

    Residence halls and libraries are in use most of the year. Trenchless work keeps most excavation out of quads and building interiors and can be planned around the academic calendar.

  4. 04

    Deferred Maintenance Backlogs

    Campus facilities teams manage aging buildings with finite capital budgets. Condition grading shows which buildings and lines need attention first.

The method

Infrastructure Intelligence

Infrastructure Intelligence gives campus facilities teams a graded, building-by-building picture of their piping, so deferred maintenance becomes a prioritized, multi-year plan.

Our crews

In the field

  • Crew members lining a riser through a vent stack on a building roof
  • Two crew members inverting a liner into a fountain's drain line
  • A crew feeding a hose into a manhole on a lawn
  • A cured CIPP liner, a new white pipe formed inside the old one

  1. 01Evaluation studyThe system is mapped, inspected by camera, and every section is condition-graded.
  2. 02Prioritized findingsGrades are weighted by system risk and turned into a plan, most critical sections first.
  3. 03RehabilitationTrenchless CIPP lining of the sections that matter most, without full pipe replacement. Access requirements are confirmed during the evaluation.
