Saving the center Hundreds of Thousands of dollars by designing an alternative system to cutting out and replacing the cast iron drainage pipes. CAI creative out of the box thinking came up with a method utilizing very high-pressure water blasting system to blast out the limestone deposits that build up & clogged solid in the interior of drainage pipes without cutting any of the pipes going directly through pipe opening by removing the drain heads and clean out plugs instead of cutting out the pipes and replacement method that was being used by Lincoln Center for many years to fix the clogged drainage piping stormwater sewers.
