Northwest Pipe Consolidates California Plants
“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.”
It will operate on 100 acres and include five separate manufacturing lines. Northwest claims it will be the largest steel pipe facility focused on water transmission projects in the U.S. with the capacity of producing pipe from 4 inches to 156 inches in diameter. The facility is expected to provide complete piping requirements for complex projects throughout the southwest.
