instrumentation, the RLS pumps, and associated equipment. In addition to this maintenance platform at the bottom of the
RLS shaft, SPJv installed a mezzanine level (i.e., at a shaft depth mid-way from the bottom) controls and observation platform.
SPJv will be constructing the final connection between the Surge and Flow Splitter (SFS) shaft and the RLS manifold piping.
Once the connection is complete, wastewater can flow from the new gravity pipe tunnel, through channels at the bottom of the
SFS shaft to the six RLS pumps connected to the manifold. e RLS pumps will lift the raw wastewater to the new headworks
for preliminary treatment prior to flowing to the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) influent channel.
gRAvIty PIPeLIne
now that tunneling is complete, work on the Gravity Pipeline project has turned to installing the pipe inside the tunnel and
making the connection between the drop shaft and the tunnel. e drop shaft is located near SvCW’s San Carlos Pump Station
site adjacent the airport. rough this shaft, wastewater from both San Carlos and Belmont will flow into the tunnel to the
wastewater treatment plant. FRP pipe installation in the second-drive tunnel is a bit more challenging compared to the first-
drive tunnel due to the longer distance and the curvature in the final alignment. e pipe transporter/installer must navigate
the curves with a 20,000 lb, 20-ft long section of FRP pipe supported on the transporter beam, moving the pipe segment into
position to form a tight joint seal with the adjacent sections of pipe. Quite a feat!

Construction work on the Belmont gravity Pipeline (BgP) along Shoreway
Road in Belmont and San Carlos continues. SvCW’s contractor partner, Shea
Parsons Joint venture (SPJv), has completed the initial microtunneling drive,
and is conducting restoration work at the first microtunnel jacking shaft (JS1).
near the existing San Carlos Pump Station (SCPS), SPJv continues work on
the southern-most of the microtunnel receiving shafts (RS4). Learn more by
