North Fork Siphon- Overall Utility Infrastructure Project of 2020

Replacing the more than 30-year-old North Fork Siphon for Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD) is certainly one of the more complicated infrastructure projects Whitaker Construction has undertaken in recent memory, one that started in Spring 2018 and will span 3.5 construction seasons, with final completion in July 2021. The new siphon is an 84-inch concrete lined and coated welded steel pipeline approximately one mile in length and will replace an existing 72-inch pre-stressed concrete pipeline. Sections of pipe (manufactured by Northwest Pipe of Adelanto, Calif.) average 40 ft. in length and weigh a beefy 42,000 lbs. a-piece.
