The Friant-Kern Canal delivers water to one million acres of some of the most productive farmland in the country and provides drinking water to thousands of San Joaquin Valley residents. The project will restore water conveyance capacity in a 33-mile section of the canal’s middle reach, where it has been most restricted due to land subsidence in the area that has occurred over the past decades. When complete, the project will return the canal’s conveyance capacity from the current 1,600 cubic feet per second (cfs) to the original 4,000 cfs.

Construction is expected to begin in November 2021 with substantial completion anticipated in June 2024. Tutor Perini’s portion of the contract value is included in the Company’s third-quarter 2021 backlog.
