Salt River Project: Crosscut Facility Campus Modernization Phase 1

Strengthening Infrastructure and Sustainability

Dibble partnered with Salt River Project (SRP) to deliver the first phase of critical infrastructure upgrades at the Crosscut Facility. These improvements mark the beginning of a multi-phase effort to enhance safety, sustainability, and long-term reliability at this vital site.

Phase 1 highlights include the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, providing SRP employees with sustainable commuting options while modernizing the facility to meet future transportation needs.

Extensive stormwater system repairs were also a key focus. Damage to a 48-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) and a 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP)—caused during prior excavation and boring activities—required emergency response and precise structural repair designs. Dibble’s team provided solutions that restored system function while safeguarding the site against future risks.

To further improve site safety and usability, a new retaining wall and erosion protection system using large rip rap was constructed. These upgrades maximize usable space while protecting critical infrastructure.

Additionally, Dibble designed a new truck scale, requiring detailed analysis of vehicle turning movements and site operations to ensure functionality and efficiency in day-to-day facility use.

Throughout Phase 1, Dibble prioritized staff safety and operational continuity. Construction activities were carefully planned so the facility could remain fully operational, highlighting the importance of collaboration and foresight.

This first phase of improvements demonstrates a strong commitment to maintaining and advancing the SRP Crosscut Facility’s infrastructure—ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable operations while setting the stage for future modifications.
