Poole and Kent's work includes the construction of one of the largest deep bed sand filter systems in the U.S., consisting of 30 cells measuring 15.25 feet by 88 feet with six feet of sand filter media and with space for future expansion up to 48 cells. In addition the contract includes construction of two Filter System Buildings, Flocculation Tanks, Backwash Tanks and a Polymer Building. The HLD project will help to increase the treatment plant's capacity by 60 million gallons per day and is a precursor to the future reclaiming of wastewater. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
