Transmission Main Assessment Phase 3
Project Owner: Town of Gilbert
Project Type: Construction Manager at Risk
Construction Dates: 09/24 to 06/26
Our Transmission Main Assessment Phase 3 CMAR project involves working with the Town of Gilbert, Black & Veatch (design engineer), and many subcontractors to assess the condition of more than nine miles of 30” to 36” transmission main and develop a plan to repair, rehabilitate, or replace segments of the pipeline and associated valves.
The transmission main is primarily located along Higley Road from Guadalupe Road to Ocotillo Road which is a busy arterial corridor serving residential neighborhoods, local businesses, and future developments. The pipeline also crosses the ADOT Loop 202 freeway, Union Pacific Railroad, Queen Creek Canal, Sonoqui Wash, and other key locations. The work is being completed in four segments, each approximately two miles long, during scheduled shutdowns. Throughout this process, we are maintaining water service for all the stakeholders.
Mike Chaudoin, Project Superintendent, noted that this work requires extensive coordination, crew support, and precise timing to meet schedule requirements. “Traffic impacts, installation, and assessment are especially complex because of the level of coordination involved and the custom assessment technology we’re using,” he said.
