The sewer system in the city of Las Vegas was disjointed and inefficient. Connections to the main sewer line were sporadic, and relief sewers could not adequately intercept flow. To support the City’s waste management, Stiver Engineering provided key design services for the Paradise Whitney Interceptor in Las Vegas.
The project consisted of a 32,000-foot gravity sewer that conveys flow from the Enterprise Water Resource Center and existing interceptors. Over 26,000 lf of trenchless construction were installed, making it one of the most significant trenchless new installation programs in terms of footage undertaken in the United States. The project received an honorable mention for trenches project of the year by Trench Technology.
Stiver Engineering provided a trench excavation safety plan for the open cut sections including fall restraint systems in addition to the trench shoring, bore pits for the tunnel operations, tunnel design, steel casing design, tunnel grouting design and tunnel settlement analysis.
