Washington Aqueduct Conduit Upgrade
A teammate looks into a 300-foot stretch of the Washington Aqueduct's Old Conduit after it was upgraded with carbon-fiber. Washington Aqueduct crews have been conducting repairs and updates to sections of the utility's First Conduit, commonly referred to as the "Old Conduit," located under MacArthur Boulevard, since November 2023. The Old Conduit is a 12-mile-long circular tube structure carrying water from the Potomac River near Great Falls to the Dalecarlia Reservoir. The conduit was placed in regular service in July 1864 and — thanks to the qualified professionals that have overseen its operations and maintenance throughout the past 160 years — remains a vital component to providing drinking water for approximately 1 million citizens in the DC area.
Replacing the Pier at Fort McHenry
The Baltimore District's Survey/Debris Section is replacing the nearly 50-year old timber pier at our Fort McHenry site with a new concrete pier. The new pier is intended to last another 40-plus years to service the Survey Vessel CATLETT and the Debris Vessel REYNOLDS, both of which make sure Baltimore-area waterways are clear and navigable. The project is anticipated to be completed by June 2024.
