FWA awards contract to begin phase 1 of canal fix
Subsidence by groundwater extraction has all but led to a conveyance failure for parts of the Friant-Kern Canal. After years of vying for funding to fix its most impacted 33-mile stretch, the Friant Water Authority announced they have awarded a contract to Brosamer & Wall/Tutor Perini Joint Venture for phase one of the project. Brosamer & Waller, based in Walnut Creek, was awarded a $177 million contract to perform the construction aspects of the first phase of work to repair the Friant-Kern Canal along the significant stretch.
