Best Practices – Water and Wastewater High-Capacity Wastewater Treatment Facility Reclaims Water Resources Project incorporated intelligent 4D design by integrating a living database into 3D facility models he growing area of Okaloosa County was in critical need for increased wastewater treatment capacity. The county’s Garniers treatment plant was more than 30 years old, treated only 6.5 million gallons of water per day, and was close to a school and residential area. Okaloosa County teamed with CDM to design and build a new, state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility. T BE AWARD WINNER Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility Organization: CDM Category: Innovation in Water Resources The Arbennie Pritchett water reclamation facility will serve a population of 181,000 in the Florida panhandle, treating 10 million gallons of wastewater per day to stringent Florida Department of Environmental Protection standards. The $49.3 million facility will support resource conservation and economic development in this vibrant coastal community, including the military and civilian personnel at the Eglin Air Force Base. Using an innovative approach of leveraging downstream data for operations, it will feature biological nutrient removal and ultraviolet disinfection that will discharge efﬂuent to rapid inﬁltration basins, allowing this valuable water resource to be reused via groundwater recharge. The facility was designed using intelligent 3D across all disciplines—architectural, civil, electrical, HVAC, instrumentation, plumbing, process, and structural—for more than 20 buildings and structures. The program called for alternative design-build delivery to meet an aggressive schedule. Final design had to be completed within 5.5 months of notice to proceed. To meet this short time frame, the team needed to be able to quickly visualize the facility to agree on the form and function of the elements early in the design process. A suite of Bentley software including AutoPLANT and STAAD.Pro enabled CDM to maximize staff skill sets and interact in a collaborative design environment to build the virtual facility. The project incorporated intelligent 4D design by integrating a living database into the 3D facility models, providing a lasting platform for efﬁcient operations and maintenance. The 3D/4D approach allowed for the 3D models and intelligent data to continue through the full lifecycle of the facility. ProjectWise helped CDM manage more than 5,000 documents and provide the latest information to team members. Deliverables from 3D/4D design approach met the expectations of both the project team and the client. “We knew going with a design-build approach would streamline the process. However, the 3D and 4D elements that CDM brought to the project have really taken the process to a new level.
