Completed concrete roof dome on the reclaim storage tank

NEW UPDATE PHOTOS: Wastewater Wednesdays!

Last week, we shared about crews working on the Nereda tank forming and reinforcing the 27” concrete tank walls, pouring the first T-section and preparing the tank’s dome for its final concrete pour.

This week we can now see the completed concrete roof dome on the reclaim storage tank!

Crews began pouring concrete shortly before sunrise over the weekend. We can now move on to the final phases of tank construction, including the pre-stressing/tensioning of the wall and final concrete finish coats.

When fully operational, the Nereda tank will be critical in FPUA’s conservation and sustainability efforts. The tank has a three-million-gallon storage capacity of clean, safe, reuse water. Nearly two-million gallons per day of water from the Nereda tank will be used by the nearby Treasure Coast Energy Center for cooling its turbines as they generate electricity. This drastically reduces the amount of water being pulled daily from the Floridan Aquifer.

FPUA is grateful for this joint venture construction project with Globaltech and Haskell; and Hazen, the site designers; and the sub-contractors working so hard to keep this project on schedule. We are also thankful for support from the City of Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County in this infrastructure improvement effort that will benefit the Fort Pierce community well into the next century.

Thank you as always for your support and interest! We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks!
