Featured Project: Southwest Aqueduct Reach 2

Featured Project: Southwest Aqueduct Reach 2

Client: Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District

Bowen Collins & Associates completed engineering design and is currently managing construction of the Southwest Aqueduct Reach 2 Project in Salt Lake County, Utah. When complete, the Southwest Aqueduct will provide the District with additional conveyance capacity and a reliable backup to the existing Jordan Aqueduct system. Together, these pipelines will serve a large portion of the required drinking water to the growing western half of the Salt Lake Valley. This important project includes large interconnection vaults between the two aqueducts, a new large diameter magnetic flow meter vault, new pig launching structures for both aqueducts, and a new mainline valve vault.
