Project Highlight: Altus Ozark Canal Rehabilitation – Altus, Oklahoma

PWE played a key role in the successful delivery of the Altus Ozark Canal Project, recognized as the largest canal rehabilitation project in the United States in 2025. This landmark infrastructure effort involved the comprehensive rehabilitation of over 13 miles of canal, restoring and modernizing a critical water conveyance system serving the region.

​

The project scope included full regrading and realignment of the canal prism, followed by the installation of a high-performance canal liner system designed to significantly reduce water loss caused by seepage. These improvements enhanced hydraulic efficiency, improved long-term durability, and ensured the canal’s reliability for years to come.

 

Executing work at this scale required precise earthwork control, disciplined sequencing, and close coordination across multiple operations. PWE’s expertise in heavy civil construction, combined with efficient field execution and quality-driven standards, allowed the project to be completed with exceptional accuracy while maintaining production on a corridor spanning more than thirteen continuous miles.

The Altus Ozark Canal Project stands as a testament to PWE’s ability to deliver large-scale, mission-critical civil infrastructure, demonstrating our capacity to manage complex linear projects, protect vital water resources, and execute work of national significance.
