Project Overview
VanCon installed 11,000 linear feet of 48-inch culinary welded steel pipe and 11,000 linear feet of 36-inch welded steel pipe along a large volume highway with high speed limits. This project included utility relocation, complex traffic diversion and the use of K-rail. The project also required the construction of seven air/vac or manway access vaults, two city turnout vaults, one PRV vault to tie two separate pressure zones together, painting of vaults, and construction of one interconnection vault with tie-in to existing lines. Work was completed in contaminated soils locations under Hazwopper regulations. Work consisted of multiple utility crossings, road crossings and asphalt replacement. Conditions included silt, sand and rock. This project required public relations management on an urban highway.

SLC East West Conveyance Line
Salt Lake City · Salt Lake County · 2022
To improve culinary water supply to the west side of Salt Lake City, VanCon installed a cast-in-place flow control valve vault and 3,300 feet of 48-inch welded steel pipe with a bore under the Jordan and Salt Lake Canal. VanCon also removed 350 feet of 8-inch sewer line, installed 58 feet of replacement sewer line, and replaced 100 feet of 4-inch waterline with a new 8-inch pipe. The pipeline also crossed a city golf course requiring coordination including installing the vault during the off season and high attention to detail in landscaping restoration. Bypass pumping was required.

Woodland Hills Waterline Replacement
Woodland Hills · Utah County · 2021
VanCon helped design and then installed 21,077 feet of 8-inch PVC culinary waterline with valves and hydrants to replace a leaking waterline for the City of Woodland Hills. The waterlines were on steep slopes in a high fire hazard community with three emergency exits and narrow roads, and the schedule included winter weather. VanCon used new equipment to safely handle the slopes, kept a tight narrow work limit, and limited actively excavated areas to immediate construction to optimize access. During the CM/GC design stage of Phase 1, VanCon worked with the city budget to add an additional street to the project scope. The City later added two more streets with additional funding. Phase 1 was completed with Davis-Bacon wages.
