Five 5️⃣Steps to a Wastewater Treatment Plant Construction👷 #1 – Initial Research🧐📕 Before starting a wastewater treatment plant project, research available funds, plan for future capacity needs, consider power sources like solar panels or boilers, and assess road access for waste hauling. Evaluate land availability for the plant, considering buying versus leasing options. #2 – Project Planning🧠 When discussing budgets, meet with shareholders, government agencies, and owners. Assess community affordability for extra taxes. Decide on wastewater types and hiring specialized engineers. Create checklists for permitting and construction phases with the construction company. #3 – Permits👩💻 Before construction begins, permits are required from the town/city and the EPA, including a Pollution Abatement Facility Operator License for sewage discharge limits. Wastewater treatment plants must be classified based on flow rate. #4 – Construction🏗️ When building a wastewater treatment plant, tasks include constructing the plant, roads, utilities, and additional buildings. Engineers and construction managers ensure the project stays on schedule to avoid budget overruns from delays. #5 – Testing Operations🧪 After the wastewater treatment plant is built, tests are required to confirm proper operation before full capacity. Continuous monitoring of pumps, leak checks, and water quality testing ensure compliance. Computerized systems facilitate efficient management.#wastewater #wastewatermethods #construction #artificialintelligence #aibuildersgroup #aibuilderstx

Honolulu is set for a major $174 million upgrade to Hawaii’s largest wastewater treatment plant. The project, aiming to enhance capacity and efficiency, will focus on the in-vessel bioconversion facilities at the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. The design-build contractor Synagro-WWT, headquartered in Baltimore, will spearhead the execution, while construction will be managed by Hensel Phelps from Greeley, Colorado. Honolulu’s Yogi Kwong Engineers will play a crucial role as the construction manager for this significant initiative. In May, concerns were raised as the Sand Island Plant's treated water exceeded allowable bacteria levels, leading to warnings for the public to avoid the ocean. Aging and ill-maintained wastewater treatment plants across Hawaii prompted a recent EPA crackdown as reported by Honolulu Civil Beat. The project focuses on enhancing the Sand Island Plant's bioconversion capabilities to meet current and future wastewater treatment demands effectively. This includes installing new anaerobic digesters, sludge storage tanks, a digester control building, and a new tunnel and basement. Upgrades also involve various infrastructure improvements, such as relocating the effluent water reuse pump station, providing power to maintenance and lab buildings, and constructing new underground utilities. Additional enhancements comprise a new boiler system, hot water pumps, modifications to existing digesters and piping, and the installation of flares, a propane gas tank, and new chemical dosing systems. The agency emphasized that these upgrades are crucial investments in Honolulu's wastewater infrastructure, enabling the plant to manage increased waste volumes and contribute to a cleaner environment for residents. Scheduled for completion by October 2028, this project underscores the commitment to improve Honolulu's wastewater treatment capabilities. #Construction #Honolulu #WastewaterTreatment #InfrastructureUpgrade

I must admit, as a water and wastewater engineer, that I had no idea that “pipe management” was so interesting. Trillions of dollars of pipelines crisscross the United States, delivering water, wastewater, fuels, and other chemicals to and fro, so that we may live our lives. How the heck does one “manage pipe”?? It just sits in the ground, right?? After 5 years worth of research and development efforts, exploring new technologies and techniques to manage our drinking water mains, I am still amazed to be learning new aspects of pipeline systems almost every day. The stuff doesn’t just “sit there.” Instead, it is alive, it moves, it breathes and changes just like a tree in a forest, every day heating and cooling with the rising and setting of the sun, and every year with the passing of the seasons. Take a look at an old building, see the cracks and decay. Now imagine that underground, impossible to visually inspect, but decaying just the same. How do we examine the pipe, like a doctor, assessing the remaining strength, and renewing the weak joints and pipe segments, so that civilization gets our water, can send us their wastes, and gets the fuels they need to survive? Neat stuff!! Graham Bell, Anna Pridmore, PhD, PE, DBIA, Paul Acosta, Jesi Lay, P.E., Jerrod Wade, Olivia Olsztyn-Budry, PE, Susan Donnally, Kent Weisenberg, Mike Higgins, Martin C., Craig Daly
