Central Pipeline

Project Overview

VanCon installed 31,600 linear feet of 48-inch welded steel culinary pipeline requiring 130,000 cubic yards of excavation and pipeline embankment. The project included several large vaults and many small vaults, a fluoride building, multiple valves, 600 linear feet of 36-inch thermoplastic (HDPE) and 900 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE. Five canals crossings were constructed; two at Utah Salt Lake, one each at South Jordan, Jacob Welby and Utah Lake Distributing, and a sixth crossing at the Jordan River. The canal was lined with 200 linear feet of concrete lining. VanCon also added 11,000 linear feet of Jordan River Parkway Trail, an equestrian trail, a pedestrian bridge over Utah and Salt Lake Canals, and pipeline connections. Road reconstruction of 200,000 square feet was completed on Jordan Narrows Road. The project was completed in public rights-of-way with flyers distributed to the public and traffic plans coordinated with two cities and the county.
