The Project consisted of evaluation of failed and failing conveyance and treatment equipment at an existing, remotely located, wastewater treatment plant and design and implementation of required equipment replacements to maintain permit compliance. The work included site visits to evaluate the equipment; preparation of a Preliminary Engineering Report detailing the problems, the various alternatives for remediation, and the recommended project to prosecute; final design; preparation of construction documents; bidding assistance; construction administration; and construction inspection.
The Project was funding by USDA-Rural Development loan and grant and had to comply with criteria of that agency, the VA Dept. of Environmental Quality, and the plant’s existing Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. The work also included safety improvements and repairs to building systems, including the electrical system, lighting, HVAC system, and building structure, as well as repair of an existing 133,000 gallon sewage storage tank outside the building.
