Final corner section of theAquaNereda concrete tanks poured
NEW UPDATE PHOTOS: Wastewater Wednesdays!
Last week, we shared progress on the Chlorine Contact Chambers, Operations & Maintenance building foundation footers, and crews setting up the infrastructure and foundations for the combined office and maintenance shop. When complete, the O&M building will house staff from plant operations, wastewater collection, the new low-pressure sewer division, and state-of-the-art maintenance and motor shop.
This week, heavy rainfall did not slow us down. The final corner section of the AquaNereda concrete tanks was poured, allowing the crews to now focus on the broad exterior and interior walls for the next two months. We’re also seeing more footer and foundation progress being made on the operations and maintenance building, with the first round of masonry work not far behind to bring this building out of the ground.
During FPUA’s FY 2025 Budget Workshop Meeting on June 18, we updated members of the public in attendance and the FPUA Board of Directors about the project schedule, project budget and projected completion dates. This is FPUA’s largest project in our capital improvement plan over the next five years. The new MWRF aligns with our mission of providing economical and reliable services enhancing the quality of life in Fort Pierce. This project is also a critical component of the City of Fort Pierce strategic growth and expansion plan, and the cornerstone of building a sustainable and resilient future for Fort Pierce.
FPUA is 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.
