Trigon was selected to perform engineering, design and engineering services during construction for this project that involves improvements to Return Activated Sludge (RAS) facilities at the Sewerage & Water Board’s 200 MGD East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant (EBWWTP).
Trigon worked closely with the S&WB’s private operations contractor which oversees the daily operations and maintenance of the EBWWTP.
One of two old 30-inch RAS lines ruptured in close proximity to two large clarifiers, causing the S&WB to install an above-grade temporary line on an emergency basis to maintain RAS operations. This project consisted of installing a new below-grade 30-inch PVC RAS line along a different alignment, which will be supported by pile structures due to poor ground conditions at the WWTP. An approximately 200’ section of 30-inch above-grade stainless steel piping will be replaced, along with replacement/modification of the discharge header inside the associated RAS pump station.
Additionally, the EBWWTP receives sludge from the S&WB’s West Bank WWTP via tanker trucks. This project also included installing new facilities to relocate where and how sludge is received from the tanker trucks.
