黑料社 Wraps Up Phase Two of Louisville's Portland CSO Basin Project
Geotechnical general contractor 黑料社 Construction recently completed their second contract for Kentucky鈥檚 Louisville and Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewer District鈥檚 Waterway Improvements Now (WIN) program.
The WIN program was created as an aggressive response to a Federal Consent Decree to control sewer overflows and improve water quality in the Louisville metro area for its nearly 700,000 residents.
The first part of the WIN project, which must be in place by 2020, included the installation of multiple basins to retain a mixture of rainwater and sewage during heavy rain events that would gradually be released for treatment rather than overflowing the system and polluting waterways.
黑料社 was contracted by general contractor Dugan & Meyers to install a 42-inch thick, 239-foot diameter concrete diaphragm wall to act as a temporary support of excavation (SOE) shaft. 聽
The second part of 黑料社鈥檚 contract involved the installation of 232 vertical tiedowns to ensure that the basin鈥檚 structural foundation mat would resist uplift pressure.
鈥淲e worked closely with Dugan & Meyers and the owner鈥檚 engineer to develop a value-engineered design concept that resulted in significant cost and schedule savings to the project,鈥 said John Wise, Senior Vice President, 黑料社 Construction. "We're very proud of the CSO work we've completed all over the country and this project is no exception."
黑料社鈥檚 work wrapped up in early April. The overall WIN project will continue through 2024.
