SCOPE: Fairfax County awarded the construction contract for the River Oaks Sanitary Sewer Extension and Improvement Project to Anchor Construction Corporation.

Anchor Construction completed this much needed sanitary sewer extension and improvement project on time and under budget. This project was designed to make public sewer available to 114 existing properties, located predominantly in the River Oaks subdivision in the Dranesville District of Fairfax County. This was a very ambitious construction project in scope, involving the following major work items:

• Construction of approximately 3,266 LF of 8” diameter Gravity 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
• 69 Grinder Pumps and electrical connections
• Directional drilling
• Jacking and Boring
• 900 LF of water main relocation
• Asphalt overlay for Roadway
• Extensive restoration and other related items.

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 maintained monthly updates on its web site.
