Coachella Canal Lining

   Imperial County - Riverside County, CA

Coachella Canal Lining, a $100 million project, consists of constructing a new 34.8 mile section of concrete waterway to replace the still earthen sections. The portion of the canal being replaced begins north of Niland in Imperial County and ends near North Shore in Riverside County.

 

 

Construction of the 122-mile Coachella Canal was completed in the late 1940s. At that time, the northernmost 37 miles was the only portion lined with concrete. In 1980, the first 49 miles of the canal, beginning where it branched off the All- American Canal near the Mexican border in Imperial County, were replaced by a parallel concrete water way.

 

LandMark Consultants, Inc. is the geotechnical engineer of record for this project. We are providing geotechnical investigation reports and materials testing during construction starting in 2004, for MWH Americas, inc.
