This project included ■ More than 40 years of water ® expanding the existing station from a capacity of 78,000 gpm to 150,000 gpm, generator and treatment plant design ® ventilation system design, and associated collection system upgrades. experience ® D•14 Drainage Basin, Palm Beach, FL - Served as project manager during preparation of a o Directed more than 15 large- scale drainage study and design ® preliminary design report on upgrading storm drainage within a 125 -acre basin in the Town of projects, including 10 stormwater ® Palm Beach. This area was served by an old, undersized gravity storm drainage system, some projects in Jupiter of it dating back to the era of common sanitary/storm sewers. The work on this project included ® location of existing utilities, modeling to establish replacement pipe sizes, specific modeling to • Served as project director of one ® minimize pipe size and depth due to congested right of way and subterranean rock formations, of the largest operating brackish and preliminary layout of a 140,000 -GPM pumping station. water reverse osmosis plants in ® the country ® D•14 Stormwater Pumping Station, Palm Beach, FL — Served as project manager for ■ Served for eight years on board ® design and construction of a 140,000 -GPM stormwater pumping station. This station utilized of directors for the American electrical submersible pumps, and the design included an emergency generator to maintain Desalination Association; ® station operation at all times. Due to the cost of real estate in Palm Beach, the site acquired Chairman of the American Water ® for this station provided only 25 percent additional property outside of the station footprint. Works Association Desalting ®The pump station building was required to meet Town architectural standards and also reduce Committee for three years; noise emissions from the generator to 65 dB. Project responsibilities included permitting of board member of the Southeast a the pumping station and collection system without any retention or detention facilities due to Desalting Association ® existing development patterns and subterranean conditions. ■ Served as Utility Director as a ® D -15 Stormwater Pumping Station, Palm Beach, FL — When the Town of Palm Beach consultant to the Town of Jupiter ® called upon Kimley -Horn to correct a cooling system problem at their D -15 stormwater pump Island for five years station, they had unsuccessfully sought help from several other sources. We reviewed the Professional Credentials ® system, identified issues, and came up with a creative approach to solve the problem. We were Bachelor of Science, Mechanical ® able to design a system that utilized two abandoned wells by converting them from a vacuum Engineering, University of S. ® pumping system to a submersible pumping system and abandoning the current system of Alabama ® filtering stormwater runoff from a nearby wetwell. The work was done with minimal piping and Professional Engineer in Florida mechanical improvements, and when implemented in the field resulted in construction cost and Louisiana a reductions of S100,000, an 85% reduction in failure rates and operator call out to the station, is and reduced maintenance time and overtime pay to operators. Most importantly, we solved a Professional Organizations problem that no one else could.
