Design-Build of Wastewater Force Main in North Bay Village, Florida
Publication: Pipelines 2010: Climbing New Peaks to Infrastructure Reliability: Renew, Rehab, and Reinvest
Abstract
The City of North Bay Village (City) needed to construct a new 16-inch Sanitary Sewer Forcemain from the City's Main Pump Station along the 79th Street Causeway west through the City of Miami and connecting directly to a Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (MDWASD) 24-inch forcemain. The proposed 16-inch forcemain (FM) will serve as a replacement pipeline to the existing 12- inch forcemain that transports wastewater from the City of North Bay Village to Miami Beach's wastewater system which is the re-pumped to MDWASD's Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant (CDWWTP). The existing 12,000 feet of cast iron forcemain poses environmental, health and safety risks due to its age and condition. In addition, the existing forcemain could be rehabilitated in the future providing the City with a redundant forcemain to transport sewage should the proposed line fail or be required to be shut off. The Design-Build Proposal presents the findings of the City's Feasibility Study and our team's due diligence, technical and construction experience to deliver the best solution to meet or exceed the City's goals for schedule, budget, innovation, operability and public impact.
