In general, this project involved the design and construction of the Canal Cleaning Sled.  The San Luis and Delta-Mendota Water Authority Engineers along with C&I Technicians designed a remotely operated sled, eliminating the need of an operator ridden sled.  Here are some photographs showing the assembly and construction of this project.
