The Project
The Patapsco Waste Water Treatment Plant Grit Removal Facility is designed to capture and hold the large heavy pieces of grit during the time of high process flow, and allow usual grit to pass through during normal flow periods.
PK Role
Poole and Kent served in dual roles as both the general contractor and mechanical contractor on this project. Poole and Kent's scope of work consisted of the following equipment/systems: 64,000 cubic yards of odor filter, (5) aeration blowers, (2) 10-ton bridge cranes (which spanned 110 feet with clam buckets), (3) 50-CFM exhaust fans, (3) 3,500-MBH furnaces, (1) 15,000 gallon fuel oil tank, process instrumentation and tank drain pumps.
Highlights/Challenges
The Patapsco Waste Water Treatment Plant is critical component of the water treatment system in Baltimore City. Due to its role, it was necessary for the plant to sustain operation during construction. To enable continuous operation of the main, Poole and Kent installed a temporary bypass of the 96-inch force main and installed 96-inch stopples. Four sections of the pipe were removed and the structure piping was tied into the main.
The Grit Removal Facility - Sanitary Contract 810 project was completed successfully within the parameters of the contract duration.
