Northwest Pipe Co. was recently named by Las Vegas Paving of Las Vegas, Nev., to supply more than $20 million of welded steel pipe for the Yolo Force Main, a project for the Sacramento County Regional Sanitation District.

Northwest Pipe will supply approximately 51,000 feet of 60-inch diameter steel pipe. The company expects to manufacture the pipe in its Portland, Ore., division, with delivery scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2005.

Northwest Pipe Co. manufactures welded steel pipe in two business segments. Its Water Transmission Group is a leading supplier of large diameter, high-pressure, steel pipe products used primarily for water transmission in the United States and Canada. Its Tubular Products Group manufactures smaller diameter steel pipe for a wide range of construction, agricultural, energy, industrial and mechanical applications. The company is headquartered in Portland, Ore., and operates eleven manufacturing facilities in the United States and Mexico.
