Elevated Storage Facility – Galena, IL
The City of Galena was
in need of a new elevated storage facility to
accommodate growth in their high zone Industrial Park.
Galena hired us to design a new, 500,000-gallon,
single-pedestal tank along with a new 1,100-gpm well
facility. We were able to package the well drilling,
well house construction, and elevated tank construction
contracts into one specification book, resulting in cost
savings for the City by consolidating design and
construction administration.
We were involved with the elevated tank project from
preliminary design through completion. Design of the
elevated tank included alternative foundation designs
required because of poor soils in the area. We assisted
the City with selection of a paint system and provided
ideas for paint schemes and lettering.
We also provided construction-related services during
tank erection and painting. We monitored progress during
installation of the H-pile and ring wall foundation,
provided part-time observation during the welding and
erection phase, and tracked daily activity during
blasting and painting operations.
Following substantial completion, we prepared a punch
list and provided support during filling and
disinfection.
kEntucky American Water – Elevated Tank – Fayette
and Owen County, KY
Since 2002, we have
worked to improve water services for the residents of
Fayette and Owen County. A recent Fayette County project
included the design of approximately 2,000 linear feet
of 24-inch water, 2-million gallon elevated storage
tank, and calibration of a KY-Pipe 2000 model of the
entire Fayette Urban County Government Service Area,
which has an approximate population of 300,000. The
current service area has an average day of 40 million
gallons per day and a maximum of 70 million gallons per
day. This modeling project and design was to increase
storage capacity within the main service area, and
provide time to start-pump storage facilities in case of
a power loss at either of the two water treatment
plants. We acquired the fee simple purchase of the tank
site. We also completed a Phase 1 environment assessment
and provided appraisal services for the tank site.
