Chlorine contact chamber’s concrete slab taking shape
Last week, we shared about the Florida Department of Environmental Protection awarding us a grant of $28,061,358 toward Phase 2 of our sewer treatment plant relocation project. The Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection, Resilient Florida Program provided the funds that will be used toward re-routing the sewer conveyance system toward the new Mainland Water Reclamation Facility (MWRF) that is being constructed on Energy Lane. The funds will also be used to restore an additional 2.47 acres of seagrass in the Indian River Lagoon. The Resilient Florida program aims to enhance Florida’s efforts to protect our waterways, coastlines, and shores using a coordinated approach to coastal and inland resiliency. This program previously provided $15,000,000 toward construction of FPUA’s MWRF in a prior project phase.
This week, we can see substantial progress across the jobsite! The site electrical contractor set the primary transformer’s manhole and conduits, and we’re ready for the rough-in of the main electrical building.
We can also see the chlorine contact chamber’s concrete slab and serpentine wall framing starting to take shape. The second half of the slab will be poured this week before crews go vertical with the chamber walls.
And finally, we can see that the operations and maintenance building’s plumbing rough-in is near completion. Once done, crews can then prep and pour the building’s foundation slab and get one step closer to going vertical!
FPUA is grateful for this project with industry leaders Globaltech, Inc., Haskell and Hazen, the site designers and build team; TLC Diversified, Inc., re-routing the conveyance system to redirect wastewater flows away from the Indian River Lagoon; Kimley-Horn, the conveyance system designers, and the sub-contractors working so hard to keep this project safe and on schedule.
We are also thankful for the partnership with the City of Fort Pierce in this infrastructure improvement effort that will benefit the Fort Pierce community for generations.
