VANCOUVER, Wash., June 13,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Pipe Company (Nasdaq:
NWPX), a leading manufacturer of water-related
infrastructure including engineered pipeline systems and
precast products, has been selected by Ames Construction and the
Central Utah Water Conservancy District to manufacture engineered
steel pipe for Salem Reach 1 of the Spanish Fork Santaquin Pipeline
Project.
The Salem Reach 1 portion of the Spanish Fork Santaquin Pipeline

Santaquin. The Utah Lake System pipeline is a feature of the
Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project ("CUP"), the largest
and most complex water resources development project undertaken by

The CUP project was originally authorized under the Colorado
River Storage Project Act of 1956 and develops a portion of
Utah's share of the Colorado
River, as set out in the Colorado River Compact of 1922. The
Central Utah Water Conservancy District treats and delivers over
100 million gallons of water per day to their service district by
managing the CUP project.
Northwest Pipe Company is manufacturing over 2,500 tons of
60-inch diameter engineered steel pipeline with cement mortar
lining and a tape wrap coating with a cement mortar overcoat. The
Company is producing approximately 12,200-feet of pipe for the
project at the Tracy, California,
facility and expects delivery to start in the third quarter of this
year.
"Utah continues to see steady
growth in population and the Central Utah Project is critical
to ensuring that clean, reliable water is delivered to the 1.5
million plus residents in the District," states Scott Montross, President and CEO of Northwest
Pipe Company. "We are pleased to be part of the solution that will
provide a sustainable water source for the central Utah communities."
