Current Projects
La Pine Wastewater Treatment Improvements
This two-year project provides needed upgrades to the City of La Pine’s water and sewer infrastructure. Major work packages are in six separate geographic locations that include earthwork, pipe, electrical, and structural components. Some of the highlights of this project provide improvements to the existing wastewater treatment facility, construction of a 20-acre effluent storage lagoon, two 100-acre irrigation pivots, a new septage receiving station, and 58,750 linear feet of newly placed of sewer service.
Juniper Ridge Public Works Campus
Taylor Northwest is currently working on a Progressive Design Build Project for The City of Bend Public Works Campus. This project consists of site development on a 35.5-acre site and excavation of three buildings to bring the City of Bend’s Public Works departments (Engineering & Infrastructure Planning, Facilities, Fleet, Transportation & Mobility, and Utilities) into a co-location space. Bringing together these departments will reduce annual maintenance requirements and allow for better coordination and efficiencies.
Costco Bend and Gateway Development
Taylor Northwest is currently working on the new Costco development on the North side of Bend. This complex project consists of 52 acres of development. Over 700,000 tons of rock to be excavated, crushed, and placed. Three new roads are being constructed (NW Declan, NW Henry, NW Costco Dr). Once Costco is opened, the additional lots on the development will consist of residential and retail.
Multiple Data Center Projects
Taylor Northwest is in our 12th year performing sitework and foundation construction for multiple Data Centers in Central Oregon.
Multiple Discovery West Phases
Taylor Northwest is currently performing multiple phases of Bend’s Westside community of Northwest Crossings and is now busy working on the expansion development of Discovery West performing work on the most recent phases.
Combs Flat
This project extends NE Combs Flat Road by approximately 5,900 feet, from its intersection with NE Whistle Way/NE Ironhorse Drive to the intersection of NE Peters Road and Yellowpine Road. This extension includes constructing a new roundabout at NE Hudspeth Road and crossing the Barnes Buttes wetlands. The project will also incorporate domestic water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater facilities. Additionally, the project involves piping the existing Ochoco Irrigation District canal, about 7,200 linear feet of 78-inch I.D. HDPE irrigation pipe, will be installed along the new road alignment.
Silver Sage
This project involves constructing new gravity and pressure sewers in areas predominantly using private septic systems. The work includes trenching and installing about 3,171 linear feet of 8-inch gravity sewer pipeline and 330 linear feet of 3-inch pressure sewer pipeline at depths ranging from 3 to 13 feet. The project also encompasses the installation of sewer manholes, gravity and pressure sewer services, temporary traffic control, street reconstruction, stormwater improvements, and general site restoration.
Recently Completed Projects
Neff and Purcell Intersection Improvements & Purcell Boulevard Extension Projects
Taylor Northwest recently completed these municipal improvement projects consisting of a full intersection reconstruction, traffic signal replacement at Neff & Purcell, and a new roadway extension on Purcell Boulevard. This brings much-needed east – west connectivity to this busy corridor.
COID Pilot Butte Canal Pipeline
This comprehensive project saw the installation of 2.9 miles of steel pipe, including over 6,500 linear feet of 102” diameter pipe and over 8,500 linear feet of 108” diameter pipe, with 290 pipe joints welded for cohesion. A cast-in-place spill structure, featuring a 30-inch cone valve, was integrated for water regulation, supported by a telemetry system ensuring precise water delivery to COID patrons. Notably, 258,000 tons of onsite-processed aggregate material served as crucial backfill, bolstering the infrastructure’s stability.
Newport Corridor Improvements
Taylor Northwest completed this large municipal City of Bend CMGC contract. Newport Corridor Improvements is a full reconstruction of the city’s century-old infrastructure from College Way to the Deschutes River. The project was selected to receive the Oregon Chapter of APWA 2023 Project of the Year Award in the category of Transportation, $5 Million to Less Than $25 Million Division, and is currently also a candidate for the National level APWA award.
Oregon State Cascades Campus Projects
Taylor Northwest recently completed our second phase on the Oregon State Cascades campus which consisted of 500,000 yard excavation and reclamation of an old landfill to structurally build up the campus and provide subgrade for future campus expansion.
Ochoco Irrigation District
The OID Crooked River Pump Station No. 1 project entailed demolishing the old station and installing a new one with 11 vertical turbine pumps, serving hundreds of Crooked River Valley patrons. It included laying 500 LF of 78″ Profile Wall HDPE pipe, a 96″ HDPE header pipe, and a steel discharge header (ranging from 54″ to 78″). Extensive excavation below groundwater levels for pipe and pump can installation required months of dewatering. Taylor Northwest’s dedication ensured the project met its completion date, aided by effective coordination and communication with the owner, enabling prompt resolution of any issues. This commitment to adaptation and problem-solving was crucial in avoiding delays for the 2024 irrigation system start.
