DESCRIPTION OF WORK FOR WHICH FIRM WAS RESPONSIBLE

Construction of a new 4.0 MGD submersible pump station functional capacity, with provision for increasing the capacity to 6.0 MGD in the future. Work includes constructing a replacement pump station within the confines of the existing ½ acre pump station site. Emery and Sons developed a work plan that allowed the existing pump station to remain operational during the new pump station construction, and testing process thereby eliminating a one year temporary diversion pumping process.

In association with the pump station, the contract included constructing 26,000 feet of 18-inch diameter PVC C905 pressure force main, approximately 700 feet of 24-inch diameter PVC gravity sanitary sewer, installation of three horizontal augur bores beneath US Highway 26, Jackson School Road, and Brookwood Parkway; and installation of approximately 3,500 LF of 20” DR 11 HDPE force main by direction drilling methods.
