Wastewater Pipelines and Pumping Stations
Final Phase Effluent Pipeline - City of Lincoln, California
Provided lead inspection services for a $1.7 million final phase effluent pipeline.
Influent Pipeline Project - City of Lincoln, California
Provided onsite construction inspection services for the $11 million project. The project
consisted of approximately 4 miles of reinforced concrete pipe, starting with 48 inch-diameter
to 54 inch-diameter pipeline that ended with 66 inch-diameter pipeline going into the
wastewater treatment plant. This pipeline went to depths of 40 feet. The project included 30
manholes (junction structures and saddle manholes) and three areas that were bore and
jacked. Three areas required to be bored and jacked due to wetland and vernal pool areas. The
first location was at a depth of 30 feet and approximately 280 feet long. The contractor
installed 48 inch-diameter reinforced concrete pipe. The second location was at a depth of 35
feet, 525 feet long, and the contractor installed 54 inch-diameter reinforced concrete pipe. The
third location was approximately 40 feet deep, and the bore was 700 feet long. The contractor
installed 66 inch-diameter reinforced concrete pipe. The specifications tolerance for the bore
and jack was 4/100ths of an inch. The slope of all three locations was within 2/100ths of an
inch.
