| Lake Chapman Water Supply Project |
|
For almost 50 years, the City of Irving, Texas has looked to secure a high-quality and economically-priced redundant water supply source for its 195,000 residents. This raw water source would reduce the City of Irving's reliance on the City of Dallas for potable water. The City of Irving has obtained water rights from Lake Chapman to provide this redundant water source. In order for the City to utilize water from Lake Chapman, a conduit needed to be constructed that connects Lake Chapman to Lake Lewisville. Water from Lake Lewisville would then be treated by the City of Dallas and distributed to the residents of Irving.
|
Constructed by OSCAR RENDA CONTRACTING, the Lake Chapman Water Supply Project helped the City of Irving realize its goal of a redundant water supply. The project consisted of 72-inch steel raw water conduit that connected Lake Chapman to Lake Lewisville with a maximum transfer capacity of 125 million gallons-per-day. Included with the large-diameter pipeline was the construction of a seven-mile "bed and banks" transfer located at the end of the pipeline designed for energy dissipation. To ensure optimal water transfer efficiency, several flow-metering stations and SCADA were built.

Through the diligent effort of OSCAR RENDA CONTRACTING staff, the Lake Chapman Water Supply Project was dedicated on May 6, 2003, making 50 years of planning a reality. For more information about OSCAR RENDA CONTRACTING, or this project, feel free to contact us.
