Northwest Pipe receives equipment delivery order for water supply project in California

Northwest Pipe has received an order to deliver pipes and equipment for the Davis Woodland Water Supply Project in California, US.

According to the contract, the welded steel pipe manufacturer will supply 77,089 feet of cement mortar lined and tape coated spiral welded pipe for the project.

The pipe will have diameters ranging from 24 to 36 inches.

The project covering the cities of Davis and Woodland in California will be constructed by Mountain Cascade. It will involve construction of pipelines connecting Sacramento river, aimed at transporting raw water from the river and boosting the water infrastructure in the northern parts of the state.

Installation of the pipes is expected to start from March 2015, with the project to be completed by the middle of 2016.

Northwest Pipe president and CEO Scott Montross said: "The Davis Woodland project was a very unique project as it utilised the Design-Build-Operate (DBO) procurement method for one of the largest 2015 pipeline jobs in the State of California."

Mountain Cascade president Duke Fuller said: "The ability of Northwest Pipe to work through numerous design modifications quickly and provide cost saving recommendations proved Northwest Pipe Company to be a valuable partner."
