2.5 Million Safe Hours

The Water System Improvement Program is proud to have reached 2.5 million working hours on our construction projects without a significant accident. This is a major achievement that reflects how serious safety is for all of the WSIP project teams, contractors, and subcontractors throughout all 81 projects. To show appreciation for all of the workers who have made this possible we have put together a short construction video highlighting the various work that crews in the Bay Division Region do every day.



Bay Road

We are excited to share that this Wednesday the contractor began trenching and installing pipe on Bay Road. This work comes after potholing to verify the location of local utilities, and mobilizing equipment from other locations of the pipe alignment. At this time, pipe installation is expected to continue for at least 3-4 months as the contractor moves from Bay Road at the Marsh Road intersection towards Flood Park. (Please remember that all construction schedule estimates are approximate and subject to change due to weather, scheduling, or other delays. Check the blog weekly for updates!).

FAQ:

What about that piece of pipe at Bay and Greenwood Road?

The blue pipe is being stored on the SFPUC Right of Way at the approximate location where it will be installed as part of BDPL 5. As you can see, this section of pipe is different than the rest of the pipe you see stored along the alignment. That is because it is specially manufactured to include the appurtenances. When pipe installation along Bay Road approaches Flood Park that section of pipe will be installed. It will connect the section of pipeline under Bay Road to the section already installed through Flood Park.
