Ash Street Pump Station Topeka, KS This project started out as an expansion of the existing pump station from 34 MGD (million gallons per day) to 64 MGD. The pump station had one 14.4 MGD and two 21.3 MGD pumps that provide the 34 MGD firm capacity through the existing 30 and 36-inch force mains. Bartlett & West proposed a unique solution of installing three, 200hp, 12 MGD vertical turbine solids handling pumps in the old abandoned dry pit section of the original pump station. The end result of using the existing structure was a very cost effective new 24 MGD station to compliment the existing 50 MGD pump station. Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation  Burlington, Kansas The City had been dealing with an aging sewer system for many years and chose Bartlett & West to develop a citywide rehabilitation plan. An extensive review of over 100,000 linear feet of closed circuit television tapes of the existing system and inspection of over 200 manholes was conducted. Bartlett & West also recommended an approach to address all components of their gravity system and as part of the project, nearly 600 laterals and 90 manholes were rehabilitated or replaced. The City is now enjoying reduction of overflows, decreased maintenance and decreased pumping costs. Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation  St. Charles, Iowa During the summer of 2008, the City of St. Charles experienced flooding events that significantly overwhelmed and damaged the sanitary sewer collection system. Even before these events, the City noticed that flows to their wastewater treatment plant were gradually increasing due to growing inflow and infiltration (I/I.) The City asked Bartlett & West to develop a city-wide rehabilitation plan to reduce the I/I problem. The data gathered from televising tapes, smoke testing and sewer inspections was used to prepare a plan for rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer system. Sanitary Sewer Evaluation & Survey Raytown, Missouri A comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Evaluation and Survey (SSES), conducted in four separate phases for thirteen sewersheds within the city, resulted in a $39 Million Capital Improvement Plan. The study included city-wide flow monitoring, smoke testing, mapping, manhole investigations, hydraulic modeling, and economic evaluation of alternatives. Over 100 miles of sewer were evaluated with over 4,000 manholes inspected. Wastewater System Improvements City of Laurie, Missouri The City needed a wastewater collection and treatment system to serve an existing developed area while providing for future growth. The City layout, topography, and geology in the Lake of the Ozarks region made planning and design a challenge. The facility plan outlined a cost-effective solution that minimized long-term operation and maintenance by minimizing the number of pump stations needed while also paying close attention to the depth of sewers—avoiding costly rock excavation during construction. Gravity sewers are the backbone of the collection system with pump stations and individual grinder pumps used as required. Orscheln Farm & Home Sewer Extension California, Missouri This gravity sewer extension project, was needed for an important commercial development. The project was awarded in April of 2006 with a required construction completion deadline of Labor Day weekend that same year. The project included a new 1,000-foot gravity sewer extension through a developed portion of the city. Bartlett & West performed surveys, plans and specifications, construction permitting, easement descriptions and contract administration. The project was completed and placed in service on schedule.
