Commercial Water Line Replacement for Keyport Properties

How it works on a Keyport site

Commercial water line replacement near Brownsville Highway typically produces three things: phased replacement plan with scope and, new continuous HDPE mains with working, and restored site. To get them we tie in and test at community-system properties, pull or trench through beach deposits at Virginia Point, and design and phase before the site is handed back.

Here's how commercial water line replacement runs on a Keyport site. We tie in and test; on the Navy facility's adjacent properties that means working at the a small village system or Kitsap PUD master meter and the building shutoffs. We pull or trench, through beach deposits at Virginia Point and across Brownsville Highway. We design and phase, and the manager gets new continuous HDPE mains with working.

What's under Keyport's larger sites

Keyport's commercial footprint is small, but the marina, the village's shared systems and the properties along the Keyport Road approach all run on old lines in damp shoreline ground. Around the marina the commercial water line replacement work we do most often is on community-system properties, and a clay layer under the village shelf decides how the excavation goes.

Village repairs are hand-dug transitions from galvanized or copper to PEX next to foundations that date to the Navy station's early decades.

From the village core to the marina the commercial water line replacement pattern holds: marina and waterfront facilities, a clay layer under the village shelf, thin-wall, polybutylene or galvanized mains identified during a, and an owner who wants phased replacement plan with scope and before approving a dig. That's the order we work in.

One crew, start to finish

On multi-family on the Keyport Road approach near Virginia Point we've done commercial water line replacement after hours with the site taped and lit, pumps running, and residents told what to expect. Ten minutes up Brownsville Highway, and the report with photos goes to the board or owner the next morning, along with a candid note about the rest of the system under damp shoreline ground on Liberty Bay.
