Neal Subdivision Sewer Line

Scope

This project, proposed to prevent future raw sewage from flowing into the lagoon below the Neal Subdivision, consisted of:

• 4,900 LF of 8″ PVC pipe
• 8″ HDPE fused pipe
• 4″ HDPE fused pipe
• 6 4″-diameter manholes
• Below grade grinder station
• Various air vents

KGCI tied into the existing sewer main that fed the lagoon and ran the new sewer pipe down a 43-degree grade, across private property, down a county road ROW, under the Uncompahgre River, and finally tied into another sewer main approximately one mile away.  

Dewatering operations were constantly going due to the high-water table. KGCI used 3″ submersible pumps every 200 feet to mitigate the 3-foot water-table depth.
