Water & Force-Main Boring on the Wasatch Front
Front water is mountain water, engineered: canyon creeks and snowpack feed treatment plants at the canyon mouths, aqueducts and district systems move supply along the bench line, conservancy districts wholesale across the valley, and a pioneer-era canal network still carries irrigation shares through the suburbs — a living system with companies, boards, and rights that predate the state. The crossings follow: transmission along the bench corridors, force mains across the valley floor, renewals beneath the capital's aging grid, and the extension programs Tooele's boom and the southwest valley's growth keep ordering. We pull fused HDPE and fusible PVC on profile, fusion certs in the submittal, testing to the owner's standard — and in seismic country, fused flexible product is the design culture's own preference.
The valley's tilt gives water work honest grade — bench-to-floor drops, pressure zones stacked against the mountain — so grade-critical shots carry rod-by-rod verification, and alignments the ground won't truthfully hold get flagged at scope.
Conservation-era stewardship runs standard: this valley counts its water publicly, the lake downstream needs every acre-foot, and clean-fluid practice, containment, and tight disposal are simply how the Front expects its underground work done.
