The air burst begins its travel in an 8-inch stainless steel pipe, vertically down a 100-foot concrete shaft before turning horizontal and travelling another 200 feet in a dry concrete tunnel. The last 250 feet are traveled in one of eight HDPE pipes encased in concrete below the riverbed, erupting in one of 16 half-dome stainless steel intake screens.<\/p>\n<p>The construction of this system was extremely challenging, and we are looking forward to bringing it online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, the PC Construction team on the Loudoun Water Potomac River Intake and Pumping Station project in Virginia celebrated a big milestone.
