Site work and renovation of a civil project in Owensboro, Kentucky. Completed plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Project includes the following Work: Currently, DHP operates as a conventional wastewater treatment process including influent metering, mechanical screening, biological treatment via oxidation ditches, secondary clarification, post clarification settling, and UV disinfection. Biosolids are handled via gravity thickening, aerated sludge storage with decanting, and sludge dewatering prior to landfill disposal. This project includes improvements to the biological treatment process via the conversion of the existing oxidation ditches to an aerated process which includes submersible mixers, diffusers, and turbocompressors. Additionally, a new chemical building and other ancillary chemical feed systems will be constructed to support the biological treatment process. Biosolids improvements include modifications to the existing sludge distribution structure, replacement of existing gravity thickener mechanisms, potential construction of a new gravity thickener (bid alternative), rehabilitation of the existing liquid sludge storage tank, construction of a new aerated sludge storage tank, blowers and sludge pumping station, new dewatering equipment to replace the existing belt filter presses, installation of new polymer make down system, and structural, mechanical, and electrical components to support the infrastructure, equipment, and control needs of the project.
