Woodland Hills Waterline Replacement

Project Overview

VanCon helped design and then installed 21,077 feet of 8-inch PVC culinary waterline with valves and hydrants to replace a leaking waterline for the City of Woodland Hills. The waterlines were on steep slopes in a high fire hazard community with three emergency exits and narrow roads, and the schedule included winter weather. VanCon used new equipment to safely handle the slopes, kept a tight narrow work limit, and limited actively excavated areas to immediate construction to optimize access. During the CM/GC design stage of Phase 1, VanCon worked with the city budget to add an additional street to the project scope. The City later added two more streets with additional funding. Phase 1 was completed with Davis-Bacon wages.
