sanitary sewer pipe
• 250 VF of Precast concrete manholes
• 19,500 LF of sewer force main pipe, varying in sizes from 1¼”
to 3” diameter

• Directional drilling
• Jacking and Boring
• 900 LF of water main relocation
• 42,500 SY of asphalt overlay

The Contract time duration is 525 days.
Due to the size and complexity of this project, and in an effort to keep
the community informed as to the progress and the work planned for the
month ahead, Anchor Construction Corporation will be posting monthly updates
on this web site. Copies of these monthly updates will also be made available
at the project construction trailer, located at 6925 Georgetown Pike (next
