Anticipating Impacts for Efficient Service Extension

The Town of Cary, NC needed to provide sewer service to a new area within its town limits, which would involve a new 225 GPM pump station, force main and gravity sewer, grinding/screening unit, pump and wetwell, odor control system, primary and backup power system, pump control and phone service. After analyzing alternative and comparing for cost of construction, easement acquisition, capacity impacts and downstream sewer and head conditions, our sewerline specialists provided design services that guided flow from the new station into the existing gravity collection system. As an additional benefit, the pump station now also has the ability to increase capacity to 300 GPM in the future.
