Project Update:
Completion of Horizontal Directional Drilling and Pullback
Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA, January 26, 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:
- The critical stage of the HDD process, referred to as “pullback”, was completed on January 26, 2018.
- 2,600 feet of 30-inch HDPE land outfall pipeline has been successfully pulled underground from the San Elijo Water Reclamation Facility to the worksite at Cardiff State Beach.
- The
pipeline is currently undergoing final quality
assurance testing to ensure it was not damaged during the pullback process.
- The drilling equipment is being removed from the beach worksite to provide space for the contractor to excavate and connect to the existing ocean outfall system directly below the work area.
- Once quality assurance testing is complete, the contractor will pump concrete into the space around the land outfall pipeline to prevent ground settlement.
- The aging Cardiff sewer line under Manchester Avenue has been replaced and it is anticipated that the new 10-inch pipeline will be connected to the Cardiff Pump Station and operational the week of February 5th.
Normal project work hours resumed on January 26, 2018. Ongoing trenching work in 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.
