Cross Bore Risk Reduction
Protects Contractors
Pipeline installation contractors, in the late 1990s,
were industry leaders in the move to minimize risk

the leading practices.

Poised for Progress: Prescott
One Step Closer to Centralized
Wastewater System
The popular adage "out with the old, in with the new"
is often associated with enthusiasm and fanfare.
Yet, in the world of sewer replacement and
expansion, the true test of a successful project
is having the work go almost unnoticed by the
public. Such is the case in Prescott, a central
Arizona desert city with a population of more than
43,000, just 96 miles northwest of Phoenix and a
scenic, two-hour drive from the Grand Canyon.
