KUB upgrade faced critical shutdown

APRIL 2015 — In seven short hours, Garney completed an overnight shutdown in the heart of downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. Garney employee-owners worked in conjunction with Knoxville Utilities Board to plan and execute the vital shutdown.

The 48-inch valve cut-in demanded many weeks of planning and organization to ensure the cut could be executed within the short time frame allotted. Cutting commenced shortly after 11:00 PM (EST) and the line was back in service at 6:00 AM (EST).

Since January 2015, Garney has worked to replace and install water and sewer lines on the project ranging in size from 8-inch to 30-inch along Main Street and the surrounding areas.
