Project manager on the feasibility study and design of a storm water pump station modification project. The feasibility study analyzed the alternatives of two separate pump stations versus a single pump station connected by 1,300 feet of 60 inch sewer. The single pump station alternative was selected. Because the sewer is at depths of up to 35 feet, much of it will be constructed by jacking and boring. The design included: six submersible pumps with a design capacity of 105 CFS (68 MGD) and 1,400 total installed horsepower; a building to house the electrical equipment above the maximum possible flooding level; the 60 inch sewer; various catchbasins, street improvements, and small storm sewers; a jib boom for removing the pumps; and miscellaneous site improvements including landscaping.
