Scope of Work

Caliagua is constructing the Telemark Booster Pump Station for the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA) to expand pumping capacity and improve regional water distribution. The project includes construction of a new booster pump facility designed to meet SCVWA’s long-term operational and reliability needs.

Key elements of the work include site grading and preparation; reinforced concrete foundations; a structural masonry and steel pump station building; and installation of vertical turbine pumps, suction and discharge piping, surge protection, and flow control equipment. The project scope also incorporates chemical feed systems, electrical switchgear, motor control centers, and standby power facilities to ensure continuous service during outages.

Integration with SCVWA’s existing water system will be achieved through extensive yard piping, tie-ins, and utility connections, supported by SCADA and PLC-based control system upgrades. Civil improvements include access roads, drainage, and security fencing. Startup, testing, commissioning, and staff training are provided to deliver a fully operational facility. The work also includes phasing and sequencing to maintain reliable service during construction.

Community Benefit

The Telemark Booster Pump Station delivers direct and lasting benefits to Santa Clarita Valley communities:

• Improved Reliability – Expands SCVWA’s ability to move water throughout its distribution system, ensuring consistent service even during peak demand.
• Water Supply Resilience – Provides additional capacity to manage drought conditions, system interruptions, and growth in the Santa Clarita Valley region.
• Operational Efficiency – Modern pumping equipment, surge control, and electrical systems increase energy efficiency and reduce long-term operational costs.
• Public Safety & Fire Protection – Higher pumping capacity supports system pressures necessary for fire flow protection across SCVWA service areas.
• Economic Benefits – Construction generates local jobs, engages subcontractors and vendors, and invests in infrastructure that supports ongoing development.
• Sustainability & Community Confidence – Demonstrates SCVWA’s commitment to proactive infrastructure investment, reinforcing public trust in the reliability of local water supplies.
