The mall this force main and gravity line serves is approximately 800,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space.  The force main was on a strict timeline to be completed prior to the opening of the mall.  The main runs parallel to IH 35 and crosses the San Gabriel River, both of which can caused great challenges to the design and construction process.  Crossing the San Gabriel River without disturbing the river or the environmentally sensitive area of the Edwards Aquifer was accomplished by directionally drilling under the river.  The jack and bore allowed the City to keep a major intersection along IH 35 open without any disruption in traffic flow.   This force main and gravity line required the submittal and approval of a TCEQ SCS application, and periodic monitoring and site visits by TCEQ staff.  The force main and gravity line were designed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Georgetown, TCEQ and TxDOT.
