Granite, a construction and construction materials company, in collaboration with Contri Construction, has announced the selection of its joint venture (JV), Southern Nevada Construction Partners (SNCP), by the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA).

The JV has been picked to carry out the preconstruction phase of the Paradise Hills Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Project.

The CMAR Project is part of SNWA’s Horizon Lateral Program aimed at enhancing water delivery and system reliability.

The project will see the installation of nearly 22,000 linear feet of 120in steel water pipeline, including trenchless crossings beneath existing infrastructure comprising a 108in waterline, Interstate I-11, and Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

The pipeline will allow for future connections to Boulder City and other key areas.

Additionally, a new pumping station with a capacity of 65 million gallons per day is to be constructed, featuring civil grading, access roads, perimeter security, and desert-compliant landscaping.

The development will feature a single-level pump building with mechanical, electrical, and disinfection systems and surge protection infrastructure, as well as advanced instrumentation and control systems.

As the lead of the JV, Granite will handle various construction tasks, including clearing operations, concrete structures, and the installation of pump station structures and equipment.

Granite’s estimated value for the construction contract stands at $240m.

Contri Construction will focus on the installation of the 120in pipeline and its components.

Granite area manager Don Sawyer said: “This project showcases our joint venture’s local expertise and collaborative strength. Through SNCP, we’re delivering a high-value, future-ready water infrastructure solution that supports the long-term needs of Southern Nevada.”

Construction is scheduled to commence on 4 January 2027 and be completed by January 2030.

This May, Granite secured a $26m contract from San Francisco International Airport to upgrade certain taxiways.
