西北地区水回设施扩展
Tampa
Best Project
Owner:Hillsborough County, Fla.
Lead Design Firm:Tetra Tech
Contractor:Garney/Wharton Smith, a Joint Venture
The $193.2-million project replaces two 40-year-old treatment plants with a combination of advanced energy-efficient technologies that collectively triple the facility’s wastewater handling capacity, provide more consistent and uniform treatment and support the region’s growth for the next 20 years. A first-of-its-kind 6-MW natural-gas microturbine keeps the facility operational during power outages.
为了在建设扩展元素期间保持一致的治疗操作，加尼/沃顿史密斯和首席设计师Tetra Tech的项目团队实施了一项设施维护计划，该计划调整了治疗列车并增加了容量。确保建筑质量在设计阶段开始的措施，并进行了第三方构造性评论，从而产生了创新，例如在工厂管道系统中的关键点集成接线箱以维护操作。Garney Construction和Wharton Smith的承包商团队还建立了一个不合格的质量报告结构，以识别和跟踪不合规性的建筑项目的纠正措施。在项目的要点期间，整个设施范围内的30天和60天的运营和绩效测试都表明了治疗目标和项目运营要求的实现。
Efforts to establish the new plant as a good neighbor began during the preconstruction phase. With a popular local sports venue serving as the primary construction entrance, the team conducted more than 20 public meetings to discuss project impacts to traffic and safety. All concrete placements and major equipment deliveries were scheduled during early-morning windows to avoid traffic congestion. A staffed checkpoint helped monitor and control traffic accessing the project area.
To address widespread community concerns about odor and noise, the project team relocated the headworks to the site interior, incorporating baffles and sound attenuation barriers into process equipment and installing odor-control scrubbers. Other community benefits include a new park with trails accessing adjacent environmental areas and more than 90 acres of new and restored wetlands.
