Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation
The project was bid and came in under budget. Manhole lids were raised to provide better access in some areas, and rehabilitation of the sewer system was completed to give another 50 years of life to the City’s much-needed infrastructure.
Rembrandt, IA
Wastewater Treatment Facility
The new plant, rated for 5.3 million gallons per day (MGD) peak day, doubles the capacity of its predecessor.
Sheldon, IA
Site Design for Temporary Housing
Designed and implemented the necessary infrastructure to support temporary housing at two sites following severe flooding.
Rock Valley, IA
Wastewater Treatment Facility
City of Orange City, IA prepared for the future by adding a mechanical treatment facility to meet both capacity and compliance.
Orange City, IA
Sludge Handling & Facility Expansion
In addition to doubling the capacity of the lift station by replacing the existing 7.5HP pumps with 15HP pumps, this project also addressed many deficiencies in the sludge collection, processing, and disposal operations.
Sanborn, IA
Wastewater Treatment Facility
MBBR technology was chosen based on cost, operational flexibility and most importantly, limited land availability.
Sanborn, IA
Wastewater Treatment Facility (SBR)
The new SBR system utilizes the existing aeration lagoon for equalization and another lagoon cell for sludge storage, which reduced the cost of the project for the City and provided more operational flexibility.
Dell Rapids, SD
