Mountain Home Air Force Base Water Resilience Project
14 miles of new pipeline to serve the U.S. Air Force Base water treatment plant
IMCO Construction teamed with Stantec on this design-build project to convey water from the Snake River up to a new water treatment plant at the Mountain Home Air Force Base. An intake in the Snake River with three vertical turbine pumps conveys 3.64 million gallons per day through over 14 miles of pipeline. The system includes SCADA and controls for integration with the new water treatment plant building, surge protection, backup generation, cleaning system for the intake screens, cathodic protection for any steel pipe, drains and air release considerations, and security systems to meet Air Force requirements. At their peak, IMCO’s skilled pipe crew was welding a half mile of 20-inch pipe per day.
