Both will eventually connect to Oxnard's planned USD39 million waste water treatment plant. Construction is set to commence in May on the nearly 5 km-long 1.5 m-diameter Redwood trunk sewer. The 3.2 km 1.07 m-diameter Ventura trunk segment will connect to the Redwood trunk sewer. Geology made of sandy silt. Microtunnelling will be used. Expected daily progress is 15 to 25 m. Depth of 7.5 to 9 m below the surface. Kennedy/Jenks Consultants are the designers of the Redwood trunk and Ventura trunk segments. Visit www.insituform.com and www.kennedyjenks.com 21/04.
