ABSTRACT
The City of Houston’s (City’s) Northeast Water Purification Plant (NEWPP) supplies an 84-in. steel transmission line that serves the northern Houston area along with several water authorities. This pipeline has existing interconnections to multiple Municipal Utility Districts and includes an 84-in. stub out for a future transmission line interconnection. The City is expanding their NEWPP and constructing a new transmission line which ranges from 120-in. to 54-in. but consists mostly of 108-in. transmission line. This line is called the Northeast Transmission Line (NETL) and will help the City to meet the future growth in demand. One segment of the NETL consists of a 108-in. by 84-in. interconnection with gate valve to an existing 84-in. stub out. With limited space, an innovative solution was required for both the design and construction of the interconnect.
