Project Update:
Ongoing Borehole Preparation
for Pipeline Installation
Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA,
January 23, 2018
Construction work continues
on the Land Outfall Replacement Project by the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority
and general contractor, J.R. Filanc. Project information can be found at www.sejpa.blogspot.com.
Recent progress:
- Reaming is complete and final borehole preparation is underway.
- The final step, swabbing, consists of passing a 42-inch barrel through the borehole as final confirmation for new pipeline pullback.
- The contractor will begin staging equipment for pipeline installation today, January 23rd, 2018.
- The contractor completed initial quality assurance checks on the HDPE pipeline and the pipe is ready for installation.
- The aging sewer line under Manchester Avenue has been replaced and the new 10-inch pipeline (see below) is ready for tie in to the Cardiff Pump Station.
After the borehole has been
prepared and swabbing is complete, the land outfall pipeline will be pulled
underground through the borehole from the water reclamation facility to the
beach. Once installed, the contractor will connect the new land outfall to the
existing ocean outfall system. Work will continue 24 hours a day, 6 days a week
until the installation is complete.
Ongoing work on Manchester
Avenue is expected through February 2018 and will temporarily impact access to
the San Elijo Nature Center. Every effort is being made to reduce any
inconvenience to the community.
The San Elijo Joint Powers
Authority is a local wastewater and recycled water agency serving the
communities of Cardiff, Olivenhain, Solana Beach, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe.
This project will safeguard public health, protect the local environment, and preserve
public recreation opportunities along the beaches of Encinitas, Cardiff, and
Solana Beach. Thank you for your patience while we work to protect our
community and coastline.
