This project focused on rehabilitating the 12-mile-long Detroit River Interceptor (DRI), which channels most of Detroit’s sewage to a common point, preventing direct discharge into the river. The project repairs including debris removal, tuck-pointing, crack repair, tap repairs, cementitious and chemical grouting, lining and cast-in-place concrete gate structures, and constructing new cast-in-place concrete gate structures to enhance flow control while working in live sewer conditions.

I have been working with Jay Dee Contractors since 2018 on very large, complex, and challenging, multimillion-dollar GLWA collection system projects. Whether it is building a crossover tunnel to connect nearly a century old 15’-6” interceptor to a 13’-6” interceptor or building other major flow regulating structures for the system, they have been adding significant long-term benefits to GLWA and the region. The team’s understanding of our complex system, innovative ideas, professionalism, and performance are commendable!
