City of Columbus, WI
R/M, in partnership with IBC Engineering, designed an upgrade at the Influent Building at the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). The new screen transfers captured solids from the influent flow upstream of pumping, to the finished floor level. Previously, the screenings were collected in a dumpster at the lower wet well deck level. The screenings, weighing approximately 70 pounds, were manually carried up 15 sets of stairs every day and hoisted to a refuse container at chest level.
To accommodate the new equipment, a building addition was constructed as an extension to the existing building. In addition, the overall HVAC, plumbing, and electrical were greatly improved for this classified area.
R/M specified an alternate screen and compactor/washer that provided greater solids capture efficiency while saving approximately $37,000 in upfront capital cost.
