Population growth related to the burgeoning energy industry led the City of Gillette to develop a new regional water source with partial funding from the state of Wyoming. We provided planning, program management, project management, design and construction-phase services for this large-scale collection of projects, the largest water initiative in Wyoming history.
The state’s population increased by 50% over a 10-year period. This program includes multiple infrastructure components for delivering water to the City of Gillette and across the region: transmission pipeline, pump station, water storage tank, well field expansion, distribution system modifications and a chlorination facility.
Our team provided overall program management, design, and comprehensive bid and construction phase services. These included a full-time resident project representative for construction observation, inspections, and coordination of work with the existing operating facility as well as adjacent pipeline contractors.
Before beginning design, we provided hydraulic modeling and surge analysis of the entire water system to accurately determine storage requirements, waterline sizes, pressures, flows and overall water quality for the high water season and the winter season.
