Nacimiento Water Project Intake Facility
Black & Veatch Corporation is directing a project team that is designing a new $185 million supplemental raw water supply from Lake Nacimiento for San Luis Obispo County. The project consists of a multi-port sloping intake facility and pump station, two intermediate pump stations, three storage tanks, control center, and approximately 45-miles of transmission pipeline ranging in diameter from 36-inches to 12-inches. This paper discusses the planning and design of the intake facility, which is a 180-foot deep, 16- to 20-foot-diameter vertical shaft connected to the lake via a single 48- to 72-inch diameter microtunneled intake tunnel with a lake tap. A surface-mounted sloping intake with seven ports will allow water to be drawn from various depths of the reservoir for optimal water quality control. Also addressed are the intake alternatives considered during conceptual and preliminary design, and detailed construction planning with the use of a geotechnical baseline report (GBR) in the construction contract documents.
