VANCOUVER, Wash., July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Pipe
Company (Nasdaq: NWPX), an industry leader of engineered pipeline
systems for water infrastructure, has been selected to supply pipe
for the Pure Water San Diego project. This sustainable and
environmentally-conscious project is a phased, multi-year program
that will provide more than 40% of San
Diego's water supply by the end of 2035.
The City of San Diego is
utilizing proven water purification technology to clean recycled
water and produce safe, high-quality drinking water while reducing
the amount of treated water discharged into the ocean. This
cost-effective treatment will provide a reliable, sustainable water
supply and reduce the City's dependence on imported water.
Northwest Pipe Company will be manufacturing steel pipe for the
North City Pure Water Pipeline, which is a critical component of
Phase 1. When complete, the 7.54-mile pipeline will transport 30
million gallons per day of recycled water from Morena Pump Station to the Miramar Reservoir,
where it will mix with imported and local water. The City will
treat the water again before use.
The Company is using over 3,220 tons of steel to manufacture the
48-inch diameter engineered steel pipeline. The pipe features
cement mortar lining and cement mortar coating with a polyethylene
tape wrap. Long Beach-based W.A.
Rasic Construction is the installation contractor for this
segment.
"Northwest Pipe is excited to be part of this
environmentally conscious water recycling project," states
Scott Montross, President and CEO of
Northwest Pipe Company. "This project reduces ocean discharge and
increases water reuse, and we believe we will be seeing more
projects with this type of purification process. We are proud to be
supplying pipe for the San Diego Pure Water project."
