Underground Construction Technology International Conference & Exhibition

This session covers the replacement of the ECUA's Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant (MSWWTP) with the CWRF required wastewater transmission mains to redirect wastewater flow, currently discharging to the MSWWTP, upgradient, approximately 20 miles to the ECUA's new 20 MGD CWRF. The CWRF project is the largest capital improvement project ever undertaken in Escambia County, FL. The project includes approximately 25 miles of Ceramic Epoxy lined DIP wastewater transmission mains ranging in size from 16" to 54" diameter. Challenges included: multiple crossings of existing jurisdictional wetlands requiring permitting and close coordination with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Army Corps of Engineers and Escambia County; and multiple cased (up to 72" diameter and 400' individual length) jack and bore crossings of railroads and local, state and interstate highways.
