FM 518 Waterline Replacement (I45 to SH3)

Budget

$1.781 million 

Scope of Work

The scope consists of the replacement of the existing 10-inch diameter waterline along the northwest side of FM 518, from I45 to just west of SH3, with a new 12-inch diameter waterline. The total footage of waterline to be replaced is estimated to be approximately 5,440 linear feet of 12-inch water mains, plus 1,750 linear feet of 8-inch and 6-inch tie-in/branching lines, including cased water line crossings of FM 518. The project includes three drainage channel crossings that are proposed to be crossed using horizontal directional drilling methods. The proposed waterline will be installed within the general alignment area of the existing waterline.
