VANCOUVER, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/15/15 -- Northwest Pipe Company (NASDAQ: NWPX), an industry leader of engineered welded steel pipe products, was selected to provide 77,089 feet of cement mortar lined and tape coated spiral welded pipe ranging in diameter from 24 to 36 inches for the Davis Woodland Water Supply Project. The pipeline is being constructed by Mountain Cascade, Inc. out of Livermore, CA. The pipeline will transport raw water from the Sacramento River and provide an expanded infrastructure capacity to this Northern California region.

The pipeline installation is anticipated to commence by the end of March 2015 and be in operation by the middle of 2016. The water supply will be owned by the Woodland-Davis Clean Water Agency.
