Design Engineering
RCI is the design engineer on this sanitary sewer main project. This project is the first phase of work intended to support the Fernley Depot in the city’s effort to convert the Depot into a community center.
NDOT Coordination
The project involved approximately 700 linear feet of a new 8-inch sanitary sewer main along U.S. Highway 50A (E. Main Street), to the Fernley Depot. A portion of this new line crosses under U.S. Highway 50A. To avoid any disturbance to the highway or disruption to vehicular traffic, RCI utilized the jack and bore method of construction to bore under the highway. This portion of the effort involved coordination with the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the issuance of an NDOT Encroachment Permit.
Villa Park Utility Upgrade
RCI was retained to provide civil design, bidding, and construction administration services for this domestic water, sanitary sewer, and roadway replacement project. The project bid was completed; however, construction was delayed at the request of the city. The design consists of bypass pumping, traffic access to the development through very narrow roadways, and eventual traffic control and construction administration.
Engineering Design
The existing water system is an aging ABS pipe being replaced with PVC, C900 pressure pipe, with pipe sizes ranging from 8 to 12 inches. Modeling of the system was required to verify pressures.
RCI design work on Villa Way involved:
- 1,400 linear feet of sewer main, 60 laterals and cleanouts
- 1,800 linear feet of water main, 49 residential services and valves
- 81,000 square feet of AC paving and base material
