Harvest Water Program
Project Details
HDD / MT / AB / OSPJ
- 16- to 72-in pipelines
- 18, 150-800 ft crossings of Elk Grove and Ehrhardt Channels, UPRR, Franklin and Stone Lake Creeks, etc.
- Casing for 16 of 18 crossings
Geotechnical Conditions
- Loose to dense silty sands and sandy silts
- Groundwater table 60′ bgs
Challenges
- Address UPRR requirements
- Mitigate impact to traffic
Project Overview
BTE is providing trenchless consulting services, as a subconsultant to Brown & Caldwell/Carollo, for the trenchless feasibility, basis of design report, and program management (C-PMO) for the Harvest Water Program recycled water system. The trenchless scope of work includes preliminary assessment of 18 trenchless crossings varying in diameter from 16 to 72 inches, and in length from 150 feet to 800 feet. Trenchless methods under consideration along the various transmission main and distribution pipelines include: microtunneling, open-shield pipejacking, open-shield tunneling, pipe ramming, auger boring, and HDD. Several trenchless crossings required pre-planning to meet UPRR permit requirements, and early permit coordination with CA DFW regarding impact mitigation to waterways.
