CHEVRON REFINERY

Project Value: $1.8 Million

Background

The project entailed installing approximately 750 LF of HDPE sanitary sewer system on Calol Street for Chevron. The scope included the installation of new sanitary sewer pipelines, manholes, cleanouts, and tie-ins. Calol Street required excavation in multiple phases to install new HPDE sanitary sewer line and manholes.
