Publication: Pipelines 2012: Innovations in Design, Construction, Operations, and Maintenance, Doing More with Less

Abstract

Boynton Beach has permitted capacity of 23 mgd in their Western Wellfield; however, the treatment capacity is six miles away at their East Water Treatment Plant. This raw water main project was designed and constructed as three separate projects covering approximately two-miles each. The design-team members will present a case study their design process and lessons learned including the following key points: 1) Planning study of alternative routes and pipe materials. 2) Expedited installation of the western two miles in advance of an ARRA/stimulus repaving project. 3) Alternative procurement process to "piggy-back" onto an existing contract. 4) Utility easement acquisitions. 5) Implementation of HDD. 6) Permitting complications. 7) Development of a single hydraulic model. 8) Development of standard details. Overall, the project has been successful and many valuable lessons have been learned that will enhance the results of future projects.
