Construction Manager in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona at Unified Business Technologies Inc

Project Scope:

This project will replace various components related to the domestic and fire protection water distribution system in maintenance and housing areas of the National Monument. New underground primary and secondary water distribution lines will be constructed to meet potable water needs and required flow for fire protection. Replacements of asbestos concrete lines including replacement of mains, service lines, valves, and fixtures to be included. A water supply well will be drilled and put into service and a welded steel water storage tank will be replaced. The design incorporates the waterlines to be in the same trench or as close to the old lines as possible to reduce environmental damage. The water tank will be installed at the same location as the old tanks after removal. This will require keeping one tank active at all times to maintain required water storage supply.

The project is permitted by Arizona Department of Environmental Quality requirements. All valves will be replaced, including valve boxes and hydrants, throughout the system to ensure proper functionality. Existing meters will be replaced with remote read capable meters, to include magnetic flow meters near initiation of supply. A SCADA system will be installed for monitoring and control purposes.
