CAWP Transmission Main Improvements and Tank D Replacement Project

The CAWP Transmission Main Improvements and Tank D Replacement Project involves constructing a new 275,000 gallon welded steel tank, installing site electrical systems with a small CMU building, and laying approximately two miles of pipelines in sizes ranging from six to twelve inches, along with two pressure reducing vault stations. The project also requires the demolition of an existing tank and associated roadway reconstruction. Work is funded through the WIFIA program and must comply with American Iron and Steel and Build America, Buy America provisions, ensuring all iron and steel products are domestically produced.
