Progress continues on O&M building foundation footers
NEW UPDATE PHOTOS: Wastewater Wednesdays!
Last week, we shared progress updates on finishing the reclaim tank at the new Mainland Wastewater Reclamation Facility (MWRF), along with framing the AquaNereda basin walls, roughing in electrical and conduit work for the facility, and construction of the Operations and Maintenance Building and the Chlorine Contract Chambers, which are the final step in the effluent treatment process. These chambers inject liquid chlorine into the waste stream to disinfect and remove 99% of all pathogens and viral components in the final effluent. This produces safe, clean reuse water that meets state and federal reuse water quality standards.
This week, we can see that progress continues on the O&M building foundation footers. Crews are also setting up the infrastructure and foundations for the combined office and maintenance shop space that will house and support the entire wastewater division of FPUA. Staff from plant operations, wastewater collection, and the new and expanding low-pressure sewer division will all be headquartered inside, along with a state-of-the-art maintenance and motor shop for repair and maintenance of pumps, motors, blowers, and field equipment. For added resiliency, the design of the O&M building exceeds the current building and wind codes in Florida. Included with this week’s photos are digital renderings of the O&M building that will be completed next year.
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.
