CAD DESIGN EXPEDITES ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROJECT FOR CCWA

The Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) working in conjunction with the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) designed and recently completed construction of the 145-mi (233-km) Coastal Branch of the State Water Project and Mission Hills and Santa Ynez Aqueduct Extensions. This system is designed to provide treated State Project Water to serve portions of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Construction of the $575 million project was completed in 1997. The project alignment through San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties is a highly sensitive environmental area, involving many biological issues and cultural resources. This paper describes how the use of computer aided design (CAD) techniques was essential in achieving the project goals of producing a cost effective and environmentally acceptable design of 28 mi (45 km) of high pressure pipeline in an environmentally sensitive area in just 80 days.
