One of our regular activities in the corrosion chapter of our material science course is to read and listen to this NPR story about our corroding water mains and the costs that would be involved in repairing or replacing the parts of the network in need. I start the lesson by watching video of one of the more spectacular water main breaks that I've seen, the 2014 break on the UCLA campus.
This year the students asked what it took to repair a water main break like that.
In searching, I couldn't find the repair work for that specific water main, but I did find a few other videos - including one from Skoakie, IL, the same city as the NPR story linked above.
