Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project

To help the Monterey Peninsula protect river habitats and the Seaside Groundwater Basin, California American Water selected Garney to install nearly 19 miles of 36-inch ductile iron and 42-inch PVC pressure water pipe. Half of the pipeline was installed through downtown streets the 130-year-old city, requiring careful considerations and traffic control for narrow, winding historical streets. Extensive night work was incorporated into the schedule to lessen the impact to downtown businesses. Connecting the pipeline also required a 400-foot pipe bridge crossing over state Highway 68, an 800-foot long auger bore, two 36-inch valves, extensive dewatering, and 50 water service connections. In addition, crews installed various cut-ins, capped existing pipelines to be removed during installation of the new pipeline, and performed detailed surveys and pothole verification of utilities in the design alignment due to the congested existing underground utilities in the area.
