15 PIT 3 & 4 INSTREAM FLOW RELEASE MODIFICATIONS BURNEY, CA. C&W has been working on a design build project on the Pit River in Burney, CA, for Pacific Gas and Electric Corp. In the upcoming months, C&W will install an instream flow system to the Pit 3 Dam. Operations will include underwater core drilling and grouting at depths up to approximately 100 ft. C&W is also responsible for the design of a cofferdam for the dry installation of a new sluice gate on the Pit 4 Dam. C&W Divers will be responsible for the installation of the cofferdam. Work is scheduled to be completed in March Point of Contact: Barnard Construction Phil Martin Project Manager (406) Photo: Marine platform assembled in the Lake Britton reservoir for diving operations. LAKE MEAD INTAKE NO. 1 MODIFICATIONS BOULDER CITY, NV. The contract required tie in of the existing water intake for the city of Las Vegas from 100' to 170' of water depth. The existing 12' diameter raw water intake was prepared to receive a 10' diameter tee section. A 12' diameter x 168' long mortar coated steel pipe section weighing 180 tons was constructed on shore and placed in the lake utilizing a critical lift plan involving two 300-ton cranes. The pipe was towed to deep water, where it was deployed utilizing a controlled descent plan developed by C&W and naval architects. The pipe was mated to a Carnegie joint section attached to the tee section in 100 ffw. The lower end of the pipe was set on a precast slab located at 170 ffw.
