Westside WWTF, Bay Minette, Alabama:
This 0.5 mgd wastewater treatment facility for the Utilities Board of the City Of Bay Minette, Alabama, was constructed in 2002 as an upgrade to an existing two pond lagoon system. The treatment train is a Schreiber system employing an automated fine screen, grit and grease removal, RAS screw pumps, aeration and clarifier, chlorine contact chamber and cascade aerator. A future filter and 0.5 mgd addition were included in the design. This plant has flexibility designed into it, with the option to treat the lagoon effluent or to route flow over the design peak to the lagoon. There is also a state of the art SCADA system incorporated into the design which allows monitoring from a remote location. AME provided the concept and worked closely with the Owner on the design. AME also provided construction management to ensure a quality product.
Hospital Pump Station, Bay Minette, Alabama:
This 600 gpm wastewater pumping station serves the northwestern portion of the City of Bay Minette, Alabama and serves as the primary influent to the Westside WWTF (see above). The design included integrating an existing pump station on site and assumed a certain amount of sanitary sewer rehabilitation. AME provided sanitary sewer flow monitoring, design and construction management services for this project.
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation, Bay Minette, Alabama:
The Utilities Board of the City of Bay Minette, Alabama is in an aggressive campaign to eliminate I/I (Infiltration and Inflow) throughout their entire sanitary sewer collection system. AME provided sanitary sewer collection system mapping, system analysis and prioritization of the system for rehabilitation. Utilizing a basin approach, almost 40% of the existing sanitary sewer collection system has been rehabilitated. Different technologies have been used in different situations to minimize disturbance and maximize the rehabilitation. Technologies used include CIPP, pipe bursting, slip lining and open cut replacement. The Utilities Board has invested over $3 million in sanitary sewer rehabilitation and has just begun a lateral replacement program as well.
Pine Creek Interceptor Sewer and SRF, Prattville, Alabama:
The City of Prattville, Alabama has experienced tremendous growth in the west and northwest portion of town and turned to AME Engineers to design a sanitary sewer system to support this growth. This project had many phases. The first phase was the Pine Creek Interceptor Sewer, which included the acquiring of a $2 million SRF loan, design and management of the 8,700' long, 15" interceptor sewer. Several environmental studies were also required for approval from state and private organizations. The entire Pine Creek drainage basin was analyzed for long term growth, using the help of the City Planning Department, and a long term plan for a new interceptor sewer was developed. The second phase of this project was an 8" sanitary sewer to serve residents on Carter Road. The third phase was a 6,000' long, 15" sanitary sewer line to divert flow around the recently renovated downtown area. Three locations were selected for flow monitoring to size the new lines. A new 1,200 gpm sanitary sewer pumping station was also included in this phase. The fourth and final phase is proposed sanitary sewer rehabilitation of an existing line in Northington Street. |
