The Structure is located ten miles southeast of Spanish Fork, in Utah County, Utah and will direct flows from the Diamond Fork Pipeline to Diamond Fork Creek located at the mouth of Diamond Fork Canyon and its intersection with Spanish Fork Canyon.

The main elements of the structure to be constructed are described below and include:

  • An extension of the Diamond Fork Pipeline of approximately 1200 feet of 96-inch diameter steel pipe
  • The reinforced concrete flow control structure, consisting of the valve operator vault, control building, and sleeve valve vault.
  • Associated piping and appurtenances, including two 42-inch sleeve valves, two 48-inch spherical valves, 2 flow meters, and stainless steel vault liners
  • Approximately 1200 feet of discharge flowline, consisting of a concrete box culvert, cast-in-place reinforced concrete stilling basin and chute
