Water / Wastewater

Project Description:  Project included complete separation of the sanitary/storm systems, new sanitary sewers and storm sewers.  A CSO was eliminated from the system by this project.

Approximate Project Cost:  $1,400,000

Breadth of Services Provided:  Survey, Design Engineering, Permitting, and Construction Inspection

Project Description:  The project included construction of approximately 10,000 feet of 12-inch to 30-inch storm sewer and approximately 1,500 feet of sanitary sewer for sewer separation and reduction of CSO volumes to Charley Creek. Approximately 2,000 feet of storm sewer was located within pavement of SR 13 and involved significant coordination with INDOT and utilities. United assisted the City in obtaining the IOCRA Grant and other financing for the project.

Project Description:  Historically, the City had experienced problems with Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) in its system and its treatment plant was in need of rehabilitation or replacement.  The City contracted with United Consulting to review the 3-year-old studies, further investigate the system and update any applicable data.  United Consulting prepared the City’s Wastewater Compliance Plan required by the State of Indiana. Also, United Consulting prepared a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for an SRF loan to construct a new 1.0 MGD wastewater treatment plant.  The plant includes a new Laboratory and Office Building, headworks with fine screening and pump equipment, oxidation ditch, secondary clarifiers, uv disinfection, aerobic digestion, and geotextile bag dewatering facilities.

Project Description: 

2010 Project:  The project included various improvements to the 16 MGD Treatment Facility. The existing secondary 105’ diameter primary clarifiers and 120’ diameter clarifiers were evaluated and improvements made to correct hydraulic loading issues, the tertiary filters were rehabilitated and converted to monomedia high-rate filters and a new sodium hypochorite / sodium bisulfite disinfection system with new building was included. The improvements allow for the higher wet weather flow treatment included in the City’s approved CSO Long Term Control Plan also prepared by United Consulting.

Prior Projects: United Consulting members also designed and managed prior projects at this facility over the last 15 years including: Equalization Basin Rehabilitation, Headworks Pumping and Screening Project, Biosolids Dewatering System Improvements, and other miscellaneous process improvements projects.

Project Description:  The project involves approximately 13,800 feet of new 36-inch and 42-inch relief sewer to provide additional capacity for current wet-weather flows and future development in the Castleton area on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Approximately 2,800 feet of the proposed sewer was installed in areas of high groundwater and difficult soil conditions by the microtunneling method.

Approximate Project Cost:  $13,500,000
