A municipality is evaluating two alternatives for rehabilitating a deteriorated 24-inch diameter concrete gravity sewer main that runs beneath a heavily trafficked arterial road. Alternative A involves open-cut replacement at an estimated cost of $850,000 with a 50-year design life. Alternative B involves cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining at $420,000 with a projected 30-year design life. Using a discount rate of 4%, which alternative has the lower net present value of total lifecycle cost, and what is the primary engineering concern with CIPP in this application?
