(Photo: Shorebeat)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe reason we\u2019re doing this as a lining project is because these are pipes that run between houses,\u201d Ernst explained. \u201cThere are existing corrugated metal pipes, and there are some sink holes occurring along the pipes themselves, so the property owners have been concerned about it. We\u2019re concerned about it it too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a practice that has become known as \u201cpipe-lining,\u201d which Ocean County has performed before, a pipe-lining contractor shoots a liner in, inflate it to the size of the pipe, and it cures within the pipe and re-forms the pipe with modern material. The alternative would be to physically remove the existing pipes and replace them, which would involve not only digging up streets on West Point Island, but digging trenches in the yards of homeowners and disturbing their properties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue here, like in some other neighborhoods we\u2019ve worked with, is that these run between the houses,\u201d Ernst explained. \u201cThere are some catch basins in the street and there are pipes on both sides of the street, one side to the other, and out to the bay. That section between the street and the bay needs to be repaired rather than ripped up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done several projects with pipe-lining and this will be another one to get the pipes lined and avoid disturbing the ground above it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14656\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/lavallette_nj_west_point_island_1450-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"West Point Island, Lavallette, N.J., Aug. 2023.
