El Paso Water was expanding its water infrastructure system in Northeast El Paso along US Highway 54 to meet future water demands for population growth. Therefore, they had the need to serve the new Vista Del Norte Estates subdivision. B&B was contracted to design the water transmission main to supply water to this future development and connect the Franklin East 24-inch waterline along US Highway 54 and expand onto Carlos Ramirez Drive. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I of this project consisted of the installation of approximately 4,535 linear feet of 24-inch water main, and the installation of 860 linear feet of 12-inch Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) water main (Class 235), and 160 linear feet of 48-inch steel casing. Additionally, they installed all miscellaneous piping, valve, fittings, appurtenances, and other site work. Phase II of this project consisted of designing a 16,400 linear feet 24-inch waterline along the proposed public right-of-way from Carlos Ramirez Drive to Stan Roberts Sr. Avenue then west along Stan Roberts Sr. Avenue for approximately 10,500 linear feet crossing US-54. The extension along Stan Roberts Sr. Avenue was to serve the future development of a large industrial manufacturing facility. The B&B surveying team performed land surveys of real property for right-of-way, easement acquisitions, prepared plats, and legal descriptions. They worked with LOI Inc. to perform geotechnical and material testing for phase I of this project. For Phase II of this project, El Paso Water provided a geotechnical report along Carlos Ramirez Drive, this was performed for their in-house design of the sanitary sewer. This project required coordination with the City of El Paso for construction in their jurisdictions.
