Update on 48-inch Force Main Reliability Improvement Project
July 3, 2014 SVCW provides wastewater services to residents and businesses in Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont, and West Bay Sanitary District
Update #31 (July 3, 2014) for
48-inch Force Main Reliability Improvement Project:
Unit 1 – Maple Street to Bair Island/Bair Island Road
Bair Island Update
Starting Monday, July 7, the contractor will begin driving sheet piles again on the Inner Bair Island segment of the work. This should only take 7- 10 days maximum. The driving will be performed with a vibratory machine attached to a crane. Residents may feel some slight vibrations and will experience an increase in noise from the project similar to that heard several weeks ago when the first sheet piles were installed. This work is necessary to complete the pipeline installation for the Unit 1 project in order to bring the pipe from the deep level of the tunnel receiving shaft to the shallower level of the future open cut pipeline installation next year.
As always we appreciate your patience with our work and we will keep you informed if there are any changes in our schedule.
