Preston Pipelines specializes in commercial construction having developed a reputation for problem solving, aggressive scheduling, and superior professional field construction crews.

CORPORATE CAMPUS
Since 2002 Preston Pipelines has performed 11 separate projects totaling $2 million dollars of work for Devcon Construction at Network Appliance in Sunnyvale - from offsite infrastructure, to parking lots and parking garages, manufacturing, and office buildings. Preston’s ability to perform work within a functioning corporate campus - maintaining access and critical services to existing facilities – keeps Network Appliance coming back to Devcon and Preston as their campus continues to expand.

BUSINESS PARKS
McCarthy Business Park in Gilroy is a $2.7 million dollar infrastructure project requiring storm drain, sanitary sewer, water, and fire system facilities. Portions of this private project intruded into the Highway 152 right of way as well as under the existing California aquaduct, requiring Preston’s management team to coordinate with the multiple agencies having jurisdiction.

OFFICE
The Centennial Towers project in South San Francisco for Hathaway-Dinwiddie sits on a rocky cliff overlooking San Francisco Bay and Highway 101. This $1.5 million dollar project is noted for the complex high pressure underground fire line required to service a 19 story building. Preston displayed our rock excavation capabilities, as well as our scheduling flexibility, working crews both day and night shift, to accommodate the space requirements of other contractors working the site.

RETAIL
Preston completed $6 million dollars of utility installations for Petrovich Development at the Woodland Gateway Retail Center. This project required substantial dewatering activities; Haz Mat removal; and work within the Cal Trans right of way for I5 and County Road 102. Essential to the success of this project was completing a substantial portion of the project out of sequence to meet the Owner's obligations to open Costco by a specific date.

MANUFACTURING
When Lockheed Missiles and Space recognized that their gas system required immediate upgrade, they called Preston Pipelines. We have the technical skill to install fusible gas main and services. We also take the care and have the precision to locate unknown utilities, and work around existing systems, so manufacturing continues despite required construction.

HOSPITALITY
The Rosewood Hotel in Palo Alto was a $3 million dollar project set on a hillside location with soils settlement issues. The multiple elevation changes were created by retaining walls requiring perforated piping systems to pick up the water captured behind the walls. Soils settlement required that all utility connections to the buildings took place with engineered flexible connections. Typical of hotel sites, grease interceptors, swimming pool drainage, and fountain services and drainage were installed. All gas and water services in Sand Hill Road were installed with directional drilling techniques to satisfy municipal requirements forbidding trenching in the roadway.
