San Diego water resilience project wins top global civil engineering award.
For the San Vicente Dam Raise, a project that more than doubled the storage capacity of the San Vicente Reservoir, Black & Veatch provided construction project management services as part of a joint venture team with Parsons.
The project provides water system resilience and reliability to the San Diego region if imported water deliveries are interrupted due to events such as prolonged drought or damaging earthquake.
San Diego County imports more than 80 percent of its water from Northern California and the Colorado River.
"The high-level operation of the E&CSP is vital in maintaining resilient and reliable imported water supplies for the San Diego region," said Kevin Davis, Black & Veatch Associate Vice President and Project Director for the company’s involvement on the E&CSP.

Black & Veatch also designed the San Vicente Pump Station project, completed in 2010 as part of the E&CSP.
This award-winning project facilitates reversal of flow that connects and moves water from the San Vicente Reservoir to SDCWA’s Second Aqueduct and to water agencies in the central and northern areas of the county.
