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
Wastewater Treatment Facility
MBBR technology was chosen based on cost, operational flexibility and most importantly, limited land availability.
Sanborn, IA
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.
