In addition to construction administration services, METCO is responsible to provide Resident Project Representative services… Continue reading STEAM, CONDENSATE RETURN AND COMPRESSED AIR PIPING IMPROVEMENTS AT SPRINGWELLS WATER TREATMENT PLANT
SPRINGWELLS WATER TREATMENT PLANT FILTER REHABILITATION AND AUXILIARY FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS
The project involves rehabilitating the 1958 filters and other auxiliary facilities improvements at several process areas within the Springwells Water Treatment Plant. The auxiliary facility improvements involved multiple disciplinary tasks. METCO, in association with CDM, was engaged to provide Engineering Services required to develop Preliminary Design Report, Detailed Design Documents and Construction Administration Services for… Continue reading SPRINGWELLS WATER TREATMENT PLANT FILTER REHABILITATION AND AUXILIARY FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS
NORTHEAST WATER TREATMENT PLANT – CRITICAL PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS
GLWA (Owner) required several critical improvements to the High-Lift and Low-Lift Pumping Systems at the Northeast Water Treatment Plant to improve operational efficiency. In order to expeditiously execute the improvements, the GLWA selected a Design-Build project delivery system. METCO functioned as the “Engineer-of-Record” for the Design/Build team was responsible for the Design and Design-Construction Coordination… Continue reading NORTHEAST WATER TREATMENT PLANT – CRITICAL PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS
ADDITION OF VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES FOR THREE HIGH LIFT PUMPS AT LAKE HURON WATER TREATMENT PLANT
In order to accomplish an enhanced level of operation flexibility, Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) had identified three (3) High Lift Pumps at their Lake Huron WTP to be fitted with Variable Frequency Drives (each rated for 5500 HP at 13.2 voltage level). The proposed VFD system is the largest of its kind installed in… Continue reading ADDITION OF VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES FOR THREE HIGH LIFT PUMPS AT LAKE HURON WATER TREATMENT PLANT
