The City of Portland East Side Combined Sewer Outflow Project* is the ISTT 2009 Project Award winner. This project involves the installation of approximately 3,000 ft (910 m) of 84-inch (2m) ID concrete pipe in a single drive under challenging conditions. Difficult mining conditions including soft ground, wood debris, and rail spikes were encountered along the drive. These conditions had largely been anticipated, in the project design and selection of equipment. The result was a highly successful job of recording breaking length. The project team was The City of Portland, Bureau of Environmental Services, Parsons Brinckerhoff, and Kiewit-Bilfinger Berger JV. This project also is receiving the2008 North-American Project of the Year Award for New Installation |
