Northwest Pipe Announces $7M Order
09/26/2008 - Northwest Pipe is named as pipe supplier for the Tesla Treatment Facility Project for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Northwest Pipe Co. has been named as pipe supplier by PCL Construction, Inc. of Tempe, Arizona for the Tesla Treatment Facility Project for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Northwest Pipe will supply approximately 2600 feet of 48- to 144-inch steel pipe valued at approximately $7 million for an engineered and custom fabricated piping system. The company expects to manufacture and fabricate the pipe in its Adelanto, Calif., and Portland, Ore., divisions.
"This order is part of the Hetch Hetchy system that serves San Francisco and surrounding areas and is in the midst of a multi-year repair, replace and upgrade project," said Brian W. Dunham, President and CEO. "We are pleased to see that this project, along with new and replacement projects throughout our water transmission market, are continuing to develop as we had expected. Additionally, certain of our tubular products' markets, particularly energy, continue to be strong and are expected to remain so through the end of the year."
Delivery of the pipe for this project is scheduled to begin late in the second quarter of 2009.
Northwest Pipe manufactures welded steel pipe and other products in two business groups. Its Water Transmission Group is the leading supplier of large diameter, high-pressure steel pipe products that are used primarily for water infrastructure in North America. Its Tubular Products Group manufactures smaller diameter steel pipe for a wide range of applications including construction, agricultural, energy, traffic and other commercial and industrial uses. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, Wash., and has ten manufacturing facilities across the United States and Mexico.
