• Project Experience As a fixture in the Top 100 of Engineering News - Record's annual ranking of pure design firms, Boyle Engineering Corporation provides a full range of professional services to plan, design, and construct infrastructure projects; including those involving water diversion, storage, conveyance, treatment, reuse, and power generation facilities. The CRRP is first and foremost a pipeline feasibility study. However, with the large magnitude of the potential water deliveries, the pipeline's associated infrastructure could also take on considerable significance. Associated infrastructure could include: • large diversion and sediment removal facilities, • high -head pump stations, • long water conveyance tunnels, • water treatment (including membrane filtration and ion exchange), • in -line storage dams and reservoirs, • hydroelectric energy recovery stations, • electrical transmission lines to the pump stations and from the power plants, • access roads, and • highway and railroad relocations. Construction of CRRP may also affect an even broader range of other existing infrastructure from the Utah border to the Fort Collins to Colorado Springs urban corridor. Therefore, Boyle's planning and design expertise in the following areas may also be called upon in this study: railroads; sewerage and water reclamation; drainage and flood control; land planning; architecture; and automated control and facilities management. Briefly summarized are our team's experience in five major categories shown below, followed by detailed project descriptions for major water development projects. • Water Availability Studies • Pipelines, Pump Stations, and Hydroelectric Power Generation • Dams and Reservoirs • Tunnels • Water Treatment Facilities Water Availa aility Studies For more than 20 years, Boyle's engineers and scientists have provided key technical support on major river basins studies and interstate water allocation using a wide variety of commercial, owner generated, and Boyle- developed software. For �jj`i Integrated Water example, the Boyle Engineering Stream Simulation Resource Systems Model (BESTSM) was developed in -house and is I��iga* . Runoff continually updated to support these major river basin M &, planning and interstate water allocation projects stretching from California to Florida.
