42-inch Water Line Design,
Segment 3 A1
Harris County, Texas
DCCM provided final design and construction phase services for 14,000 linear feet of 42-inch water transmission line within a CenterPoint Energy electric transmission line corridor and easement. This water line is part of the West Harris County Regional Water Authority’s (WHCRWA) 2025 system, which will meet at least 60% of water demand with surface water. This is the latest project in a long history of working with WHCRWA to supply their surface water requirements.
The project involved installing water lines in CenterPoint Energy’s electrical transmission line corridor for miles. Trenchless construction was required within 20 feet of truss towers and across busy roadways. Close coordination was maintained with the City of Houston and Harris County for permitting and the acquisition of record drawings. Collaboration with the design engineer ensured a proper connection to an 84-inch water line. Additionally, coordination with multiple petroleum pipelines and dry utilities in CenterPoint Energy’s corridor was necessary.
