The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project is a multi-phased major
infrastructure project underway in northwest New Mexico. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in
conjunction with the Navajo Nation is constructing the project
that, once complete, will convey water from the San Juan River to
the eastern section of the Navajo Nation, the southwestern portion
of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and the City of Gallup. Upon its completion, the
project will provide a sustainable water supply for approximately
250,000 people with an annual delivery of over 37,700 acre-feet of
water from the San Juan Basin.
Northwest Pipe Company is manufacturing over 1,813 tons of
24-inch and 30-inch diameter engineered steel pipeline. Some of
pipe will have epoxy lining with a paint coating while other
segments will have cement mortar lining and polyurethane coating.
The Company is manufacturing the pipe at the San Luis Rio Colorado in Sonora, Mexico facility. The Company also
recently supplied pipeline for the project on Reaches 4C through

outdated pipeline structures or stress put on systems from growing
populations, the importance of providing a safe, reliable water
