The East Side Big Pipe is a large sewer line and tunnel in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is part of a combined sewer system of pipes, sumps, drains, pumps, and other infrastructure that transports sewage and stormwater run-off to the city's Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant. The East Side Big Pipe project, begun in 2006 and finished in 2011, was the largest of a 20-year series of projects designed to nearly eliminate combined sewer overflows (CSO)s into the Willamette River and the Columbia Slough. The combined projects were completed on time, and they reduced CSOs into the river by 94 percent and into the slough by more than 99 percent.

Overlook is a neighborhood in the North section of Portland, Oregon on the east shore of the Willamette River.

Willamette Iron Works (also known as Willamette Iron and Steel Company or WISCO) was a general foundry and machine business established in 1865 in Portland, Oregon, originally specializing in the manufacture of steamboat boilers and engines. In 1904, the company changed its name to Willamette Iron and Steel Works, under which name it operated continually until its close in 1990. The works was very busy during the World War I shipbuilding boom, building boilers for Northwest Steel and Albina Engine & Machine Works in Portland, G. M. Standifer Construction in Vancouver, Union Iron Works, Schaw-Batcher and the Moore Dry Dock Company in San Francisco, Southwestern Shipbuilding and the Long Beach Shipbuilding Company in Los Angeles, Skinner & Eddy, J. F. Duthie and Ames in Seattle and Todd Construction in Tacoma, as well as completely fitting out ships launched by Northwest Steel. During World War II, Willamette Iron & Steel was itself in the shipbuilding business: small naval auxiliaries, minesweepers, patrol craft, submarine chasers, and non-self-propelled lighters. These were built through WISCO's relationship with Henry Kaiser. The company built more than 70 ships during World War II, but they were smaller than those built by the three nearby Kaiser Shipyards. The ships were built on contract to the US and British governments. Willamette also built triple expansion main propulsion engines for Liberty ships.Between the wars, the shipyard concentrated on building small commercial vessels. During the 1920s, the company manufactured a geared steam locomotive known as the "Willamette", a Shay-type locomotive for use in logging operations in Washington and Oregon. Between 1901 and 1931 Willamette built over 2500 steam donkeys for use in the logging industry. During World War II Willamette assembled over 800 Russian gauge Baldwin steam locomotives and shipped them to Vladivostok. NW Front Ave. in Portland had a short distance of Russian gauge track for the engines to move from the engine house on the west side of Front to the loading dock on the east side of the street. These were shipped across the Pacific on USSR flagged ships, since the USSR and the Empire of Japan were not at war. A Porter 0-6-0 was bought from the US Government in Panama to switch the broad gauge track. In the early 1970s, the company manufactured the first three turbine units for the third powerhouse to be built at the Grand Coulee Dam.The company also made fire hydrants for the city of Portland in the late 19th century.In 1945, after World War II ended, Willamette Iron and Steel continued as mostly a ship repair facility. Over the years, business dropped as larger shipyards grew, and Willamette finally closed in 1990.

The West Side Combined Sewer Overflow Tunnel (also West Side Big Pipe) is a tunnel in Portland, Oregon, United States. It receives and stores overflow from the combined sewer system before it can reach the Willamette River. The main tunnel is 14 feet (4.3 m) in diameter and 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long for a capacity of 2,850,000 cubic feet (81,000 m3) and connects to dozens of smaller sewer overflow interceptors along the west side of the Willamette River. The tunnel receives flows that might otherwise reach the river. Instead, the CSO tunnel transports them to the Swan Island Pump Station. Portland's 1930s sewer design combined street and surface runoff with sewage in a common system that was overwhelmed during heavy precipitation. The original system handled overflows by sending excess flow into the river.The tunnel is 120 to 160 feet (37 to 49 m) below ground level. It passes under the Willamette River between the NW Nicolai Street shaft (45.54072°N 122.69751°W / 45.54072; -122.69751 (Nicoli shaft)) to the confluent vertical shaft on Swan Island (45.55302°N 122.69565°W / 45.55302; -122.69565 (Swan Island confluent shaft)), which also receives the East Side Big Pipe. From Nicolai, it travels roughly south close to Front Avenue. There are vertical shafts at Upshur (45.53643°N 122.68642°W / 45.53643; -122.68642 (Upshur shaft)), Ankeny (45.52234°N 122.66992°W / 45.52234; -122.66992 (Ankeny shaft)), and Clay streets (45.51163°N 122.67530°W / 45.51163; -122.67530 (Clay Street shaft)). The Clay Street shaft receives the Southwest Parallel Interceptor, a 3-to-6-foot (0.91 to 1.83 m) pipeline which runs along the west Willamette shore for 3 miles (4.8 km) to Virginia Avenue and Taylors Ferry Road 45.47015°N 122.67240°W / 45.47015; -122.67240 (SW Parallel Interceptor south end).The project is a part of the Willamette River combined sewer overflow expansion program. Construction occurred from November 2002 to September 2006, and the project became fully operational in December 2006.A 20-year series of related CSO projects, including the West Side Big Pipe, culminated in late 2011 with completion of the East Side Big Pipe. The combined projects reduced the city's sewer overflows into the Willamette River by 94 percent and into the Columbia Slough by more than 99 percent. The total cost of the projects, about $1.4 billion, is being financed over time through additions to the Portland sewer rates. Almost no financial support for the projects came from state or Federal governments.
