Fiberstrong – BBJV Silicon Valley Clean Water Project

Our Indonesia plant has supplied 17,500 feet Fiberstrong FRP pipes and couplers across a mixture of 10- and 11-foot diameters, for the Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) gravity sewer tunnel project, USA.

The pipes were manufactured at FPI Indonesia and with the support of Infrastructure Solutions were shipped to the project site in Redwood City California. It has been the largest overseas shipment of fiberglass pipes with over 50,000 cubic meters of pipe delivered. The pipes are ready for installation following the completion of the tunnel boring.

Silicon Valley, located in the San Francisco Bay area, has seen significant population growth with its 45-year-old waste water system reaching its maximum design life. Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) Regional Environmental Sewer Conveyance Upgrade (RESCU) is working to replace the existing system with a gravity pipeline including the design and construction of 3.3 miles of a gravity pipeline tunnel. The project required a 100-year design life and a 10-year design life warranty. Our Fiberstrong ™ piping solutions meet that requirement and were chosen for the project.
