We were tasked with designing the temporary bypass line to convey peak water demand to the Panama City Beach McElvey storage pump station, evaluate various pipe materials for construction, and develop construction drawings. The proposed alignment for the temporary bypass transmission main included approximately 6,000 feet of water main with a portion of the water line to be buried, but the majority of the pipe to be laid on top of the concrete sidewalk and pedestrian bridge deck along the bridge span. Pipe expansion joints were also incorporated near the bridge expansion joints.
