Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) has selected the Traylor-Sundt Joint Venture (TSJV) to construct the IPL Section 19 Long Tunnel Crossings project (PL19TUN). The entire IPL Project is an integrated water delivery transmission system in the Dallas area consisting of 241 km (150 miles) of pipeline, three new lake pump stations, and three new booster pump stations delivering a required capacity of 1.32 bn liters/day (350 million gallons per day (MGD) of raw water to North Central Texas. TRWD and the City of Dallas Water Utilities currently serve over 4.1 million residents and the IPL will allow these agencies to continue supporting regional community and economic growth. 

The Section 19 Long Tunnel project includes two EPB TBM tunnels totaling 3.34 km (10,944 linear feet); two micro-tunnelling runs totaling 526.39 m  (1,727 linear feet); 27,74 m (91 linear feet) of hand-mined tunnel; and installation of 2.13 m (84-inch-diameter) carrier pipe throughout. Notice to proceed is anticipated next month, with expected completion in early 2026.
