Northwest Pipe to Supply Pipe for Maryland Tunnel Project
06/09/2009 - Northwest Pipe will supply pipe for the Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission’s Bi-County Tunnel project, a 5.3-mile tunnel and associated steel pipe liner.
Northwest Pipe Co. has received a commitment from Oscar Renda Contracting of Roanoke, Texas, to supply pipe for the Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission.
The pipe will be used for the Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission’s Bi-County Tunnel project, a 5.3-mile tunnel and associated steel pipe liner. The tunnel’s water main will be part of a transmission system to deliver potable water from Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission's Potomac Water Treatment Plant to points in Prince George's County, Md.
Northwest Pipe will supply approximately 29,000 feet of 84-inch steel pipe valued at approximately $11 million. The company expects to manufacture the pipe at its Parkersburg, W.Va., division with delivery scheduled in the first quarter of 2011.
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. Headquartered in Vancouver, Wash., the Company has ten manufacturing facilities across the United States and Mexico.
