VISTA RIDGE JOINT GROUTING - SAN ANTONIO WATER SYSTEM
The Vista Ridge project is the largest completed by American Pipeline Services (APS), to date. The newly-constructed water transmission pipeline, stretching between San Antonio and Austin, extends almost 140 miles, or over 740,000 l.f., and varies in pipe diameter size from 36” to 60”:
A summary of the pipe segments follows:
Pipe Type Estimated Footage
54” 303 167,700’
54” C200 13,200’
60” 303 422,900’
60” C200 129,100’
48” (303 or C200) 5,638’
36” (303 or C200) 2,529’
30” (303 or C200 or DIP) unknown
34” (303 or C200 or DIP) unknown
Garney Construction contracted American Pipeline Services to complete the joint grouting portion of this job. Each phase of the work is highlighted in a different color on the map below:
Phases of the Vista Ridge project are outlined in red, blue, yellow and green
APS dedicated 2- to 4-man crews at a time, in 3-week mobilizations from Colorado to Texas, over a span of almost two years. In total, over 21,400 joints were grouted. The finished pipeline will provide 20% more water for San Antonio (enough for approximately 162,000 families).
American Pipeline’s crews had the resourcefulness and expertise to finish the Vista Ridge work in a timely manner without experiencing any safety incidents. For more specifics about the project’s completion, please see the white paper linked below:
