ABOUT THE PROJECT

Location: Celeste, TX

Delivery Method: CMAR

 

Project Description:

To support long-term water reliability in North Texas, Garney is delivering the Lake Ralph Hall Raw Water Pipeline as Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) to help ensure long-term water reliability in North Texas. Together with Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam (LAN), Jacobs, Black & Veatch, and Freese and Nichols, the project connects a new 7,500-acre reservoir to the regional system through a 32-mile large-diameter pipeline. It will provide up to 59 million gallons of raw water supply.


Identified as critical infrastructure needed by 2026, Lake Ralph Hall will be one of Texas’ newest reservoirs, helping meet growing demand across the region.


Garney’s CMAR approach has been key to managing the project’s complexity. By releasing 16 bid packages during design, the team secured long-lead materials early, captured favorable steel pricing, and saved more than $10 million. Construction strategies, including 3D modeling and tailored sequencing, helped navigate complex geotechnical conditions across the corridor.


The project also features a balancing reservoir to help the system work smoothly, along with 117 tunnels that add up to more than 3,200 feet. This includes a 1,600-foot tunnel under the South Sulphur River.
