Northwest Pipe Company to manufacture engineered steel pressure Texas pipeline project
(UC) — Northwest Pipe Co., a leading manufacturer of water-related infrastructure, has been selected by S.J. Louis Construction and Alliance Regional Water Authority to produce engineered steel pressure pipe for Alliance Regional Water Authority Phase 1B-Segment D.
Phase 1B is the second and largest phase of construction for this major water infrastructure project in Central Texas. When complete, Phase 1B will initially produce, treat, and deliver approximately 5,500 acre-feet of water per year, growing to 15,000 acre-feet per year through the future addition of wells and water treatment basins.
The project will convey water from eastern Caldwell County and northern Gonzales County and serve customers in the cities of Kyle, Buda, and San Marcos, as well as the Canyon Regional Water Authority. Through a partnership with the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, the project will also deliver water to New Braunfels, Lockhart, and the Goforth Special Utility District. The project is primarily funded by bond issuances through the Texas Water Development Board and will be completed in 2024.
"In this segment, we are manufacturing over 18 miles of engineered steel pipe for Alliance Water. We previously delivered over 5,100 tons to Alliance in 2021 for Segment A,” Scott Montross, president and CEO of Northwest Pipe Company, said. “We are pleased to again be working on this critical infrastructure project, which once completed, will serve over 225,000 residents in the area. As Texas continues to grow, we look forward to supporting their long-term water needs."
Founded in 1966, Northwest Pipe Company is a leading manufacturer for water-related infrastructure products. In addition to being the largest manufacturer of engineered steel water pipeline systems in North America, the Company manufactures high-quality precast and reinforced concrete products; water, wastewater, and stormwater equipment; steel casing pipe; bar-wrapped concrete cylinder pipe; and one of the largest offerings of pipeline system joints, fittings, and specialized components.
