LOTT WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS

Lacey, Washington

Puyallup Wastewater Treatment Facility ExpansionHWA GeoSciences Inc. completed a geotechnical study for a wastewater treatment facilities project proposed by the Lacey Olympia Tumwater Thurston (LOTT) Wastewater Alliance. The proposed facilities consist of a new Hawks Prairie Satellite Reclamation Plant, improvements to the existing Martin Way Pump Station, and three miles of conveyance lines. The raw sewage conveyance line from the pump station to the plant will traverse along East Martin Way beneath a wetland area, and will require trenchless construction methods for a significant part of its length. The reclaimed water conveyance line from the plant to the outfall site will have trenchless road crossings at East Martin Way, and at the intersections of Britton Parkway and Marvin Road. A preliminary geotechnical engineering assessment of the general area of the facilities was performed and a brief report was prepared outlining geotechnical conditions and design considerations for the siting and design of the facilities. Site and location-specific geotechnical investigations for the facilities were then performed. Separate reports were prepared for the Hawks Prairie Satellite Reclamation Plant site and various plant components, for the proposed improvements to the Martin Way Pump Station, and for the conveyance lines between the pump station and plant and from the plant to the outfall location. Recommendations were provided for foundation support for the various structures and treatment facility units on both the plant and pump station sites. Earth and potential ground water pressures and dewatering needs for buried facilities were discussed, and recommendations and guidelines for site grading and drainage considerations, for open-trench and trenchless construction of the underground conveyance lines, and for roadway and parking lot pavement development, were also provided in the reports. Additional scope included a stormwater infiltration study at the plant site.
