Warren Environmental, Inc. built an international reputation using its innovative, low-cost approach to infrastructure repair, and the Middleboro-based company’s latest project will mend local sewer mains desperately in need of a fix.

Founded in 1996 by husband and wife Danny and Jane Warren, the firm manufactures Danny’s patented, non-toxic epoxy. The material has been used for projects such as transporting decommissioned nuclear equipment and Los Angeles subway system repairs.

On Saturday morning, Water Pollution Control Facility Director Guy Campinha explained the project at an informational session held at the Swifts Beach Improvement Association Center.

Joining Camphina were Danny Warren and Garrett Keegan, a senior environmental engineer for Green Seal Environmental, Inc.

Campinha said he did extensive research on how to repair two sewer mains with the least amount of disruption and cost for residents.

“I went to Colorado to a trade show on trenchless technology and [Danny Warren’s] name kept coming up,” said Campinha. “I’m a skeptic, so I did a lot of research and got an education on his process. I’m excited he’s a part of this because it will benefit us all.”

The project will reinforce sewer pipes beneath Bayview Street and Wankinquoah Avenue, which are cracked, leaking and in danger of failing, said Campinha.

“It’s become a huge issue,” he said. “We don’t want to lose the pipe. It’s seventeen feet underground and a major feeder for the area. If that pipe goes it’s just going to eat up the road.”

The project will be done in stages with pipe sections being repaired in stretches between manhole covers.

Instead of digging up the street, Warren explained a fiber glass “sock” coated in non-toxic epoxy will be fitted over the leaking pipe. Steam is then applied to cure the material, encasing the pipe.

The method has been proven at massive projects in cities such as Boston and Philadelphia, Warren said. According to him, the repairs have a life expectancy of 75 years.

Campinha said the work will be done with as little disruption to residents as possible. Street closings will be minimized and sewer service will be shut off to residents adjacent to construction for a day, two days at most in some cases.

Construction is expected to being in August. Campinha said a schedule detailing when residents can expect sewer service to stop will be posted to the town website. Drinking water will not be turned off during construction.

Campinha said the project will cost an estimated $199,000. It will be paid for with funds from the sewer department’s budget.

“Swifts Beach will not get a special surcharge,” Campinha said.

Warren said he’s been at work in the industry for a long time, launching his first company, A&W Maintenance, Inc., at the age of 19.

Warren, a former Onset resident, said he was pleased to help out the town.

A second informational session on the project will be held Wednesday, July 13 at 7 p.m. at 38 Pleasant St. Interested residents are encouraged to attend.
