Sindara Steel Co., Ltd has supplied 1200 tons ERW steel pipe to the Southern Delivery System Water Project.
The Southern Delivery System (SDS), one of the largest water projects under construction in the western U.S., total 50 miles of pipeline construction.
More than 7,000 50-ft sections of mostly 66-in. diameter, welded-steel blue pipe were installed over the past 3.5 years in areas that included residential neighborhoods in Pueblo West. Extensive revegetation has been done throughout the project to restore land disturbed by construction.
The conclusion of pipeline construction brings this $841 million project—including $204 million of that spent on pipe and installation—one step closer to delivering water next year. The pipe will transport water stored in Pueblo Reservoir north to Colorado Springs, the second largest city in the state, and to the growing southern Colorado communities of Pueblo West, Fountain and Security, serving as many as three-quarters of a million residents through 2040.
