Project Overview

Ribway was selected to provide professional design services for the replacement of approximately 10,000 lf of 6” to 12” aged water lines.

Ribway prepared detailed plans and specifications for the project. The drawings included:

• Plan and profile drawings for the water lines
• Maintenance of traffic plans
• Summary of quantities and miscellaneous details

The project involved:

• Abandoning existing laterals and services
• Constructing new water lines
• Reconnecting new services
• Providing new valves and hydrants
• Relocating utilities
• Replacing existing pavement

Selection of the water line alignment was a critical part of the project. The alignment was chosen to avoid existing utilities and minimize disruption to residences and business communities. Ribway worked with over 20 utilities and agencies during the design phase of the project. Ribway provided engineering services during construction including attending construction progress meetings, reviewing submittals, responding to contractor’s request for information and preparing record drawings.
