FDEP filmmakers captured recent plant progress
NEW UPDATE PHOTOS: Wastewater Wednesdays!
Last week, we shared progress on pouring nearly 14 million tons of concrete for the AquaNereda Tank foundation and additional work for key facilities and components of the New Mainland Wastewater Treatment Facility.
This week, we proudly welcomed film producers from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (@FDEP) who filmed and photographed progress of our monumental project here in Fort Pierce, which will be used as demonstration of some of the ways that FDEP is investing in water quality improvements throughout the state.
The film crew began production at our South Hutchinson Island Wastewater Reclamation Facility (IWRF) capturing the natural beauty of Fort Pierce and our current operations. We then moved to the new Mainland Wastewater Treatment Facility (MWRF) for a tour by Mike Martin, FPUA MWRF Project Manager. After a safety briefing and overview of the new WRF facility, the crew began documenting the ongoing construction project.
Mike guided the three-person film crew through milestone accomplishments like the AquaNereda and O&M building progress, continued work laying electrical conduit, and the completed concrete storage tank - where we see today the exterior roof being painted – and the film crew got a peek inside the tank as construction crews completed the interior walls in preparation of the leak test.
FPUA is excited to be part of FDEP’s film production and we are grateful for this joint venture construction project with industry leaders Globaltech, Inc. 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 the partnership with 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.
