Signature Projects
Sand Creek Ranch
Spring 2008
Sand Creek Ranch is an innovative development property set on 836 acres of working agricultural property near Buffalo, WY. The philosophy behind the enterprise is to create a sustainable ranch conservation community dedicated to preserving open spaces and maintaining agricultural integrity. Three Way, Inc. spearheaded the development by constructing roads around the conservation easements all centered around low-density impact. The project met the developer’s completion date on a very tight time frame despite one of Johnson County, Wyoming's wettest springs on record. (Spring 2008)
Mitchell Draw Evaporation Ponds
Spring 2008 - Petro Canada
Three Way, Inc. constructed an evaporation pond that consisted of a brine storage pond and two evaporation ponds. Work consisted of 55,000 CY of compacted fill over 1,000,000 SF of 60 mil HDPE liner, interconnect piping, leak detection installation, 8' deer fence, and 18" SDR13.5 transmission main installation. Challenges included construction of 6' dividing berms and excavating anchor trenches on slopes of 3:1 and steeper.
Headgate Draw Treatment Pond
Summer 2008 - BeneTerra, LLC
The Headgate Project was TWI's first project constructed utilizing the Design/Build method of project delivery. ECS's professional engineering staff worked closely with BeneTerra staff to ensure the project was designed to meet their needs. Upon completion of design, ECS provided onsite engineering support and project management to ensure the job was completed efficiently. Overall the project was completed in 45 calendar days from start of design to completion of Three Way, Inc.'s scope. The scope included design, staking, wet well installation, compacted fill, facility piping, secondary containment, concrete building pad, 60 mil HDPE liner, outfall and road construction. The design build method saved the client over 20% versus the traditional design/bid/build project delivery methods.
Brown Cow
The "Brown Cow" was a poly pipeline project consisting of a 40,000 foot right-of-way that surpassed the customer’s expectations in time and quality. The project was completed ahead of schedule and traversed very rough country south of Rawlins, WY.
Town of Encampment
Water Project
TWI, Inc. was contracted by the Town of Encampment (WY) to construct a 20” poly pipeline from the Grand Encampment River to the town’s water treatment facility. The pipeline replaced basically an “old ditch”. The project was scheduled for two seasons and was completed in one. The pipeline provided quality water for the community.
Mitchell Draw Low Water Crossing
Summer 2008 - Petro Canada
This project consisted of constructing a low water crossing across the Powder River for Petro Canada. The length of the project was over 1,240 LF of a road consisting of 860 LF of rock-filled GeoCell (beyond the banks of the river), and 380 LF of concrete filled GeoCell (between river banks) with 6' and 8' composite sheet piling driven downstream. The challenge was the 380 LF that actually crossed the River. Construction of the 380 LF of concrete filled GEOCell occurred in August (traditionally no flow), and crews had to build coffer dams to divert 100 CFS stream flows prior to placing material and pouring concrete. The project included construction of approximately 1,000 LF of earthen berm, 750 LF of 6' and 8' composite sheet piling installation, installation of 4,000 SY of CFG2000 erosion control blanket,1200 LF of 18" SDR17 outfall pipe, importing over 800 CY of rock, and 900 LF of GeoCell installation. All work was under close scrutiny of the BLM Field Office, USACOE, and the Wyoming Fish and Game to ensure fish passage above the crossing.
Internally Coated Steel Pipeline Project
Near Midwest, WY
Three Way, Inc. was contracted to internally coat a steel pipeline project that consisted of 24 inch pipe and designed to hold an excess of 800 pounds of pressure.The pipeline is located in the oil fields near Midwest, WY. Water and CO2 are injected into the wells to extract the oil. The injection process is very corrosive to the pipes. Internally coating the pipes required the careful installation of chill rings. The project was overall technically more difficult than standard steel installations and there have only been a few similiar projects done in Wyoming.
