Developing a Pre-Certification Process for Using ISI Envision during the Planning Phase of a Pipeline Project

The Willamette Water Supply Program (WWSP) has teamed with the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) to develop a “pre-certification” process for the Envision™ Sustainable Infrastructure Rating System (Envision). The “pre-certification” process is being used during the planning phase of a major water supply program to inform evaluation of pipeline routes, selection of reservoir sites, and development of design guidelines to provide a sustainable water supply project that fits well in the community. This first-of-its-kind approach will use Envision during the planning and preliminary design phase in order to expand the focus of the engineering team to consider criteria beyond just engineering. The WWSP has incorporated the Envision rating criteria into the process for determining the pipeline route and reservoir site location and for developing design guidelines. Envision criteria are being used to minimize disruption to the surrounding communities and design a sustainable infrastructure project.
