MCK provided Construction Management services including Construction Manager, Project Controls, Scheduling and Inspection on this $11M piping project which conveys water from Forebay Reservoir to the Reservoir 1 Water Treatment Plant in Pollock Pines, CA. The ditch was approximately three miles in length and the project replaced this open conveyance with a 42-inch welded steel or concrete cylinder pipe. The pipeline has the capacity to deliver 40 cubic feet per second, the maximum flow available from Forebay Reservoir. The project alignment installed pipe within private easements in portions of the ditch and cross-country sections, and Public Right of Way in portions of local roads. The Upper Main Ditch piping project was scrutinized by the public for over 40 years and the 16 month construction schedule was completed with no incidents or issues with local residents.
