As part of DC Water’s system-wide efforts to modernize water and sewer infrastructure, a series of construction contracts were issued to rehabilitate or replace pipelines, pumping stations, and storage facilities. These projects addressed aging infrastructure, enhanced system reliability, and improved water quality and pressure across multiple districts in the city.
BVF Engineering provided detailed construction scheduling support throughout this program. Using Primavera P6, BVF reviewed baseline and monthly contractor schedules, monitored progress, and assessed time impacts of proposed changes. They prepared analyses of payment applications, evaluated extension of time requests, advised on change order negotiations, and provided cash flow monitoring and schedule risk assessments to support project managers and resident engineers.
This scheduling support covered a wide range of projects:
- Elizabeth Water Tower and Large Diameter Water Mains (new elevated storage tower and 4,000 ft of transmission mains)
- Bryan Street Pumping Station HVAC Improvements
- G100 Sewer Rehabilitation (15,000+ ft of CIPP and 140 manholes)
- Sewers Under Buildings (structural repair at 19 sites using various trenchless techniques)
- Small Diameter Water Main Replacements (over 4 miles of mains plus appurtenances)
- Bloomingdale Water Main Replacements
- Low Area Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation (nearly 12,000 ft of 30–42 in. trunk sewer)
- B Street / NJ Avenue Trunk Sewer Rehab (4,350 ft of 10–18 ft span sewer tunnel)
BVF’s unified scheduling approach ensured alignment across contracts, mitigated project delays, and supported timely decision-making for critical infrastructure upgrades.
