Greensbranch Combination Sewer Rehabilitation

Project Description: In response to the requirement to reduce combined sewer overflows to the White River and increase the structural integrity of old brick sewers, the city of Anderson installed a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner with the following key elements:

85 million gallons per day bypass pumping system
1,170 feet of 84-inch CIPP liner
2,300 feet of 96-inch CIPP liner
9 manhole liners

United Consulting initially reviewed various rehabilitation and reconstruction techniques and systems. Multiple lining systems were bid and the cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner system was selected and installed.

Due to the disruption to the neighborhood, public outreach was conducted including public meetings and project presentations, newspaper ads, Facebook, and other media. The public was updated weekly in regards to traffic and other impacts.

Approximate Cost: $3.85 M

Breadth of Services Provided by UNITED: Survey, Replacement and Rehabilitation Alternative Evaluation, Design, Bid Phase Assistance, Public Outreach and Meetings, Construction Administration, and Periodic Construction Inspection

City of Wabash Headworks Project

Project Description: The project included pumping and screening upgrades at a headworks facility with hydraulic capacity of 30 MGD. The existing headworks structure was reconfigured following the removal of two screw pumps with the addition of parallel fine mechanical screens, dual washer compactors, four submersible pumps with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and automated controls, slide gates, a trolley hoist assembly, and headworks screening building. Floatables and debris entering the plant were reduced, as well as improved reliability, control, and monitoring of pumping operations. The original/overall design was also provided by United staff in the 1990s.

Approximate Construction Cost: $2,100,000

Breadth of Services Provided: Design Engineering, Bid Assistance, Construction Administration

Lost Creek Lift Station

Project Description: The City’s existing lift station that conveyed wastewater for a large portion of the north side of Terre Haute was beyond its design life and in need of replacement.

United Consulting designed the new facility with a design capacity of 20 million gallons per day including a new, cast-in-place concrete structure, masonry building, submersible pumps with VFD controls, dual mechanical screen equipment, and other necessary improvements.

Approximate Project Cost: $5,500,000

Breadth of Services Provided: Survey, Land Acquisition, Design Engineering, Permitting, and Construction Administration

Terre Haute Lost Creek Lift Station Project

Project Description: The project included construction of a 22 MGD sanitary lift station and approximately 320 feet of 30-inch force main to replace the existing lift station on the same site. The new lift station featured a cast-in-place concrete screen channel, wet-well, valve vault, masonry building, submersible pumps with VFD controls, dual channel mechanical screen equipment, equipment hoist, diesel generator, site lighting, and various site improvements. The project also included stream bank and channel stabilization along the perimeter of the site and demolition of the existing lift station to allow space for additional site improvements.

Approximate Construction Cost: $5,500,000

Breadth of Services Provided: Survey, Land Acquisition, Design Engineering, Permitting, Construction Administration

US 41 Stormwater Pump Station Project

Project Description: The project included construction of a 39 MGD stormwater pump station and approximately 700 feet of 48-inch force main. The pump station included a new cast-in-place concrete structure, masonry control building, submersible pumps with VFD controls, screen structure, influent gate controls, and cast-in-place gatewell/energy dissipation structure at the levee force main discharge location as permitted by the USACE.

Approximate Construction Cost: $3,600,000

Breadth of Services Provided: Survey, Planning, Design Engineering, Permitting, Land Acquisition, Construction Assistance

New Castle Industrial Park Lift Station

Project Description: Upgrades to the existing lift station and extensions to the gravity sewer were needed at New Castle’s Industrial Park in order to provide sanitary sewer services for a new industry. The project also included the placement of approximately 2,500 feet of new (12-inch diameter) sanitary sewer. The project had an accelerated completion schedule to meet the industry’s opening date.

Approximate Project Cost: $200,000

Breadth of Services Provided: System Capacity Evaluation / Option Development, Design Engineering, Bid Assistance, Construction Administration / Periodic Inspections

Cicero Hidden Bay Water Main Improvement

Project Description: Cicero had a failing water system in the Hidden Bay neighborhood. The system was old and leaking and in some cases installed below or immediately adjacent to resident’s homes. As the watermain experienced breaks, town personnel performed hand excavations to complete repairs, which resulted in unsafe conditions for workers and residents. United assisted the town with the OCRA grant pursuit. After successfully receiving the grant, United designed improvements to replace approximately 2,400 feet of watermain with appurtenances, which relocated the system to the road right-of-way where it could be safely maintained.

Approximate Project Cost: $600,000

Breadth of Services Provided: Grant / Financing Assistance, Design Engineering, Bid Assistance, Construction Administration/Periodic Inspection

New Castle CSO Mitigation Project 3B

Project Description: The first phase of New Castle’s CSO Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP) included a large sewer separation project that included the placement of approximately 14,000 feet of new storm sewer (ranging from 12 to 60 inches in diameter) with 2,000 feet of new sanitary sewer. The project dramatically improved storm drainage for the community and mitigated the impact of the CSOs. Roadway, sidewalk, and ADA improvements were also made as part of the project.

Approximate Project Cost: $7,000,000

Breadth of Services Provided: CSO LTCP Preparation, Financing Assistance, Design Engineering, Land Acquisition Assistance, Bid Assistance, Construction Administration/Periodic Inspection, Post-Construction Monitoring

New Castle CSO Mitigation Project 8B

Project Description: The second phase of New Castle’s CSO Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP) included new sanitary and storm sewer projects in a central portion of the city. The project included placing approximately 6,400 feet of new storm sewer (ranging from 12 to 36 inches in diameter) and 1,000 feet of new sanitary sewer. The project dramatically improved storm drainage for the community and mitigated the impact of the CSOs. Roadway, sidewalk, and ADA improvements were also made as part of the project.

Approximate Project Cost: $2,800,000

Breadth of Services Provided: CSO LTCP Preparation, Financing Assistance, Design Engineering, Land Acquisition Assistance, Bid Assistance, Construction Administration/Periodic Inspection, Post-Construction Monitoring

New Albany Raw Wastewater Lift and Dump Station

Project Description: The New Albany Wastewater Plant had needs at its headworks (raw wastewater pumping station) for a collection system cleaning equipment dump station. The raw pump station required valve replacement, piping modifications, and painting of the dry pit piping system. Another portion of the raw pumping system improvements included the addition of a third submersive pump, VFD, controls, and appurtenances. The Truck Dump Station portion of the project included new facilities for interior truck dumping and mechanical screening equipment to remove debris from the influent plant flow. New structures and a building were included in the project.

Approximate Project Cost: $1,600,000

Breadth of Services Provided: Equipment Evaluation, Design Engineering, Bid Assistance, Construction Administration / Periodic Inspections
