The Company will produce over eight miles of
engineered steel water pipe for this water supply project in
North Dakota.
VANCOUVER, Wash., March 30,
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 Garney Construction to
manufacture engineered steel water transmission pipe for the latest
segment of the Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP) in
central and eastern North
Dakota,
The Garrison Diversion Conservancy District and Lake Agassiz
Water Authority are co-sponsors of the RRVWSP, which will create a
buried pipeline to carry water from the Missouri River near
Washburn, ND, along Highway 200 to
the Sheyenne River, above Lake Ashtabula. When complete, the RRVWSP
will provide an emergency water supply to central and eastern
North Dakota during times of water
scarcity and drought.
The water will also provide opportunities for industrial
development, as a current lack of industrial water supply has
driven industries out of North
Dakota. Without the pipeline, the state estimates that a
10-year drought similar to the 1930s dust bowl would have a
$32 billion economic impact, which
would be devastating to the state's communities and industries.
Northwest Pipe Company is manufacturing over 7,500 tons of
72-inch-diameter engineered steel pipeline for the Contract
5B of his project. The pipe, which is
being manufactured at the Saginaw,
TX facility, will start being delivered to the job site this
summer. In addition, the Company is also supplying
PermalokÒ steel casing pipe for the intake on the
Missouri River.
"The Red River project is a
large-scale water program that will effect nearly half of the
population of North Dakota. More
than 35 cities and rural water systems will benefit from this
drought mitigation project," states Scott
Montross, President and CEO of Northwest Pipe Company. "We
appreciate being part of the team on this massive water
infrastructure project that will ensure adequate public water
systems and economic stability for North
Dakota."
