Completed Construction
Slauson – Van Ness Sewer Project
This project was built to keep sewage moving safely and reliably through the wastewater collection system. The project at Slauson and Van Ness had three main parts.
- A new diversion structure (where sewage can be diverted to another sewer) was built under the northwest corner of the intersection at Slauson and Van Ness.
- Replacement parts were installed in the existing junction structure (the place where two or more sewers come together) under the intersection.
- A short sewer bypass (connecting pipeline) was built across Slauson Avenue. The Slauson – Van Ness project is one of many sewer repair projects being built throughout Los Angeles under the Collection System Settlement Agreement between the City, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Santa Monica BayKeeper.
QUICK FACTS
- Work began in early 2006 and continued for about a year.
- The new, 36-inch diameter sewer pipe was placed under Slauson Avenue. A pit was excavated in Slauson Ave., west of the intersection, in order to build the junction structure.
- During construction, traffic on Slauson and Van Ness was allowed in all directions, but the number of lanes was reduced. Signs were posted to direct traffic safely through the intersection.
- Contract amount - $2.86 million.
- Construction management – City of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering.
- Inspection – City of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, Bureau of Contract Administration.
