Capital Improvement Projects
2010 Pump Station Modifications
(BK Bonge – Project Manager)
The goal of this project is to upgrade pump stations to current BCWS standards, completely replace dated pump stations, and eliminate those that are no longer necessary due to sewer system improvements that have occurred in the surrounding area. The four pump stations included in this project are PS-049, PS-011, PS-032, and PS-203.
PS-011 is initially anticipated to be eliminated by gravity sewer to PS-049 and PS-049 will be upgraded to current standards if the wet well is of adequate size to handle the additional flow. If the PS-049 wet well is not large enough to handle the additional flow, the pump station will be completely replaced to current standards. The possibility of eliminating PS-049 by gravity sewer to PS-011 will also be studied during the preliminary design phase. PS-032 is in such a state of disrepair that a total replacement of the station is favored over an upgrade. A cost analysis will be conducted during the preliminary design phase to determine if this is the best way to go. PS-203, also in a state of disrepair, is currently located at the rear of a privately owned parcel which greatly hinders access for maintenance. The current plan for PS-203 is a total replacement on a new nearby site located adjacent to public road right of way. Short force main and gravity sewer main extensions will be constructed to facilitate the relocation of the station.
The preliminary budget for this project is $1,500,000.
2010 Gravity Sewer Rehabilitation Project
(Wofford Stribling – Project Manager)
The goal of this project is to improve the condition of portions of the existing sewer system by bringing it up to the current standards of Berkeley County Water & Sanitation. These projects are planned to improve system reliability, to reduce operation and maintenance costs and reduce infiltration and inflow into the sewer system.
The proposed rehabilitative effort includes cured-in-place (CIPP) line rehabilitation, combined with either a pre-lining refurbishment of the service connection or a post-CIPP internal refurbishment.
The preliminary budget for this project is $2,300,000.
AD Hare Water Renovation Project
(Ashley Yeh – Project Manager)
The goal of this project is to replace approximately 44,000 linear feet of small diameter galvanized pipe with 4” and 6” diameter PVC pipes, connect existing services to the newly installed mains, replace/relocate the associated meter boxes to within the right-of-way, install fire hydrants and post hydrants to provide adequate flushing as well as fire projection along the project area.
The roads that are included in the project are: Bay Lane, Broughton Hall Road, Bunkerhill Lane, Joey Lane, Morton Waring Lane, Old Village Drive, Quail Drive, Ranch Drive, Shoreside Court, Stevensridge Lane, Summerton Court, West Lake Shore Drive, Academy Lane, Windy Hill Lane, Almond Street, Ben’s Circle, Bryan Drive, Cooper Store Road, Crestwood Drive, Lucas Street, Starbright Lane, Stormwatch Lane, Val-Mar Drive and Walsh Drive, AD Hare Lane, Alle Place, Ayers Drive, Buttonwood Lane, Cain Drive, Dial Lane, Doc Lacy Lane, Dooley Lane, Fellowship Lane, Fox Squirrel Lane, Graceland Drive, Harriets Way, Jolewis Lane, Lakenglen Drive, Louise Lane, Maries Lane, McCall Alley, Morning Dove Lane, Parsonage Road, Peggy Lane, Private Lane and Shelby Lane.
The preliminary budget for this project is $2,070,000.
