Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US-based rail, construction and tubular products manufacturer LB Foster Company has been awarded a $4.7 million contract to provide PZC sheet piling to Balfour Beatty Infrastructure of Fairfield, Canada for use in phase II of the construction of the Red Bluff Fish passage improvement project.


PZC 28 sections will form a permanent structure within the US Bureau of Reclamation's Red Bluff Diversion Dam complex on the Sacramento River. Balfour Beatty is building a 1,118 foot-long fish screen and pumping station at the Northern California Central Valley project site with funds provided from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.


The PZC sheet piling is manufactured by US steelmaker Gerdau Ameristeel in Petersburg, Virginia and shipped by rail to LB Foster's Chowchilla, Canada facility to be paired into sections for this environmentally-sensitive project. Construction of this unique project began in the early summer of 2010 with completion anticipated in 2012.
