Critigen to provide land acquisition support for water transport project in Colorado

COLORADO SPRINGS, May 8, 2012 -- Critigen has signed a contract with Colorado Springs Utilities to provide land surveying support services for the ongoing Southern Delivery System (SDS) regional water project. Critigen's Geomatics Surveying and Mapping practice will support the Utilities land agents in acquiring easements and fee parcels needed for the construction of the conveyance systems and facilities of the project, which is currently under construction. This will include field support, preparation of legal descriptions, exhibits, and GIS support.

Scheduled for completion in 2016, the Southern Delivery System will transport water from the Arkansas River to the City of Colorado Springs and its project partners -- Pueblo West Metropolitan District, Security Water District and the City of Fountain -- through an underground water transmission pipeline. More information regarding the comprehensive scope of the SDS Program is available online at http://sdswater.org.

"Utilizing our deep domain expertise and administering our proven quality control process, we will have an impact on delivering work within budget, schedule and industry standard quality. More importantly, this project will provide a stable water supply for these southern Colorado communities well into this century," said Farhan Shaikh, Critigen Vice President.
