PLATORO RESERVOIR BULKHEAD GATE INSTALLATION
Platoro, CO
SCOPE OF WORK
C&W recently completed a project installing a new
bulkhead gate at the Platoro Reservoir in Colorado for
the Bureau of Reclamation. The project involved core
drilling into the existing concrete intake to install
grout anchors that would eventually hold a seat in place
for the gate. After the gate was installed, the intake
was successfully dewatered for inspection by the BOR.
Divers worked at an elevation of 10,000 feet to finish
the job on time before severe weather conditions would
have delayed the project.

REDONDO BEACH DESALINATION PROJECT
Redondo Beach, CA
SCOPE OF WORK
C&W Diving recently completed underwater work to
successfully test the efficiency of a temporary
desalination plant. Work performed included successfully
completing a pipe in pipe pull of 2100 linear feet of a
HDPE pipe bundle. C&W also installed an onshore pump and
pipe support structure, as well as an offshore pipe
support structure and T-screen in the intake riser. The
demonstration project by the West Basin Municipal Water
District is part of an initiative to reduce the amount
of imported water in the South Bay from 66 percent to 33
percent by 2020. "Southern California is faced with a
fragile, out-of-date state water delivery system,
predicted reductions in imported water supplies caused
by climate change, continued statewide population
growth, and other limitations,'' said Gloria Gray,
president of the water district's board. C&W's work was
instrumental in allowing for the withdrawal of large
amounts of ocean water for desalination without killing
sea life.
