Record-setting Wastewater Project Keeps Focus on Environment

In this article for Civil Engineering Source, Dewberry Senior Associate Paul Longo and Garney Construction’s Mark Peters discuss the James River Crossing project in Virginia, which involves the engineering design and construction of nearly 5,700 feet of force main beneath the Newport News shipping channel to convey wastewater from Newport News to the Nansemond Treatment Plant in Suffolk. They share about the trenchless technology, intersect method, and pipe installation methodologies being used to complete the project and provide an overview of remaining tasks and lessons learned thus far.
