Meandering Way 48-inch Water Main

Huitt-Zollars provided construction plans, specifications and related right-of-way documents for an 8,100-linear-feet section of 48-inch water main; the project was located along a four-lane undivided collector street. Significant project considerations and extensive coordination involved Dallas Water Utilities, TXU, neighborhood representatives, an underground booster pump station, and city council staff. The project connected to the existing pump station and primary transmission water lines in the area. The underground pump station houses two 11,200-GPM centrifugal pumps powered by 350-HP motors; the above ground ventilation and access shafts are surrounded by a fenced and landscaped site beneath 138-KV electric power lines.
