A key project component includes new boreholes to be directionally drilled from the North Rim to Roaring Springs Pump House with carrier pipes to include raw and potable waterlines. Two approximately 8-to-26-inch diameter, 9,260-feet-long boreholes will be drilled sequentially using vertical direction drilling, extending from the drill site (i.e., bore entry site) at the North Rim ballfield to the bore exit site just west of Roaring Springs Pumphouse in the inner canyon, where the borehole would daylight. The planned boreholes have a vertical length of 3,310 feet, a total measured length of 9,260 feet, and will be drilled through several Paleozoic geologic units of variable lithology with the potential for a variety of geologic risks

Project Scope Includes: “Ballfield”

Entry Site – Ballfield

Includes: 2 boreholes

Exit Site – Roaring Springs Pump House

North Rim Heavy Equipment Facility – Project Overview

Project Scope Includes:

Design-Build of a new Heavy Equipment Facility to be located in the North Rim Developed area with the following requirements:

• House and support the operation and maintenance of various types of vehicles and heavy equipment including snow removal equipment, over-snow equipment, road maintenance and construction equipment and various specialized NPS vehicles.

• Support 12 - 14 vehicle bays plus a vehicle maintenance shop with a vehicle lift, a welding shop to support vehicle and equipment maintenance, and a limited amount of interior conditioned space to support functions such as NPS staff offices, employee restrooms, a break room, and similar spaces.
