Challenges Faced in the Planning, Design and Construction of a 30-Mile Pipeline

摘要

How can a water utility construct a 30-mile pipeline project through various adverse conditions with limited funding that is spread over ten years? This paper will address the approach chosen by the City of Greeley, Colorado. Challenges such as steel pricing volatility, negotiating fair right of way crossing fees, easement acquisition, pressure testing and disinfecting the various pipe segments and contractor pre-qualification will be addressed.
