Jones & Henry designed and completed construction administration and resident services for a new raw water pump station in the Village of Delta. The pump station serves two purposes – providing raw water to fill one of the reservoirs and pumping raw water to serve a local industry. Therefore, the design parameters required by each entity needed to be addressed. Early planning and management were a must in order to assemble a collaborative design amongst the Village and the industry.
The new pump station reservoir supply pumps replaced existing units that were located in the abandoned water plant. Strict coordination, specific construction sequence and piping connection design parameters were required to keep the existing raw water Reservoir 2 supply pump station active while making a new pipe connection. 18-inch, 16-inch and 12-inch diameter raw water pipes were required to be jack and bored under a well-traveled county road in order to install the suction and discharge piping to the new pump station.
The design included yard piping, site design, a new masonry pump building, wet well, four vertical turbine pumps, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and controls and SCADA upgrades.
Two vertical turbine pumps of 700 gpm and 2,800 gpm were placed for the reservoir supply and two 840 gpm vertical turbine can pumps were used for the industrial supply. The Village has expressed satisfactory performance has been result of the carefully planned communications and project coordination during design and construction.
