This project consists of three coordinated components located at the Adams Field Wastewater Reclamation Facility (AFWRF), each addressing a specific operational or drainage need across the site.
• Dump Site Improvements – Work includes constructing a 3ft concrete trough, adding a new inlet point with a box structure, installing truck washdown stations, and expanding truck access with a new concrete driveway and concrete pad. The scope also includes regrading around the constructed roadway and restoring the impacted grass swale to support proper drainage and improve overall site functionality.
• Concrete Swale and Stormwater Upgrades – The project includes installation of 8,729 LF of concrete swale to improve drainage around the site clarifier. Two new stormwater structures are proposed to tie into the existing stormwater network, enhancing water conveyance and overall stormwater system performance.
• Dirt Mound Removal and Regrading – Work consists of excavating and hauling away the existing dirt mound on site, followed by regrading and reshaping the area to restore proper elevations and ensure consistent site grading.
