Abstract:

The State Water Project Coastal Branch Aqueduct and Extensions brings 48,000 acre feet of water annually to 23 Southern California communities. built over five years, the project involved building a 43 MGD water treatment plant and installing nearly 140 miles of underground pipeline in some of California's most challenging terrain. To address the many challenges this project presented�among them, building the treatment plant near the San Andreas Fault and avoiding impact to sensitive habitats�the project team designed the plant to ensure seismic integrity and used the latest in trenchless technology.
