The project began with the conversion of an existing 400-foot-deep rock quarry to a 2.4-billion-gallon raw water storage system. From there, the team used a tunnel boring machine to bore and install a 5.5-mile, 10-foot-diameter tunnel. That tunnel connected the quarry to two new pumping stations and 11 deep shafts, all of which will work together to ensure residents and businesses have access to clean, safe drinking water, especially during drought conditions and emergencies. This system increased the City of Atlanta\u2019s emergency raw water reserve from three days to more than 30 days.<\/p>\r\n<p>Read more about this outstanding project in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enr.com\/articles\/52819-southeast-project-of-the-year-collaboration-conquers-atlantas-water-shortage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ENR Southeast<\/a> or check out this video!<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Atlanta Water Supply Program Story\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S6P1JAqjejk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, the PC Construction and H.
