Northwest Pipe Co. said that it is consolidating its two Southern California facilities, located in Riverside and Adelanto, into one expanded facility in Adelanto. The company has acquired an additional 20 acres in that town and is in the process of moving equipment from the Riverside facility, which it intends to sell to a residential real estate developer for $12.5 million.
“These two facilities are less than one hour apart and have been operated under common management for some time,” explained Brian Dunham, president and CEO of Northwest Pipe Co. “The Riverside facility has focused on smaller diameter pipe and projects, while our Adelanto division has provided larger pipe for major (water transmission) systems. We expect to serve all of our customers' needs more efficiently from this single, combined facility.”
