Newtown Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant Upgrade
Brooklyn, New York
Michael Baker International; CB&I;
Gannett Fleming (Joint Venture)
New York, New York
Innovative upgrades helped double this wastewater plant's wetweather processing capacity to 720 million gallons per day, while
increasing sediment and grit removal to 92 percent and reducing
odor. To reduce discharges into the East River, the project team
used advanced 4D modeling technology to deliver four new
treatment components-totaling $1.3 billion-and inspected
the interiors of eight 140-foot-high egg-shaped anaerobic
digesters that sit atop the plant. They also implemented a biogas
program that is expected to heat nearly 5,200 homes and reduce
annual greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90,000 metric
tons by the end of this year.
90-Inch Water Main Hot Tap & Line Plug
Des Plaines, Illinois
GRAEF-TDW Services, Inc., Chicago, Illinois
A colossal 90-inch water transmission main was relocated to
accommodate the rebuilding of the Jane Addams Memorial
Tollway while maintaining water service to 500,000 residents.
The project team designed, tested and constructed a unique
thrust restraining system to absorb the massive forces generated
by the risky hot tap procedure-where two pipes are connected
without emptying pipe contents. The system safely absorbed
the high-pressure force when water was diverted into the
bypass section. It allowed a critical water supply to be
preserved, the construction schedule to be reduced by a year
and renovation of the tollway to proceed.
C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir
Hillsborough County, Florida
Gannett Fleming, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania
Imaginative engineering successfully restored Florida's largest off-stream potable raw
water storage facility-a vital supply when available surface water withdrawals are
limited. After abnormal cracks were discovered in the 1,100-acre reservoir's erosion
control layer, the project team excavated the existing soil cement and soil wedge and
replaced the existing geomembrane liner with a first-of-its-kind composite polyvinyl
chloride layer to control seepage. A new stair-step erosion control system enhances
the reservoir's stability, while a state-of-the-art re-curved sea wall prevents hurricanedriven waves from overtopping into the 15.5-billion-gallon facility that serves more
than 2.4 million people.
