Site work for a water / sewer project in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The purpose of this project is to ensure the reliability and efficiency of Milorganite(R) conveyance and storage equipment in the D&D and Milorganite(R) storage facilities. The existing equipment is original to the buildings and was identified during the 2018 D&D Equipment Assessment Meetings with VWM as needing replacement within four years for D&D and within five years for the silos. The scope of this project includes preliminary design (alternative analysis), final design, and construction for replacement of the following: two product weigh belts and weigh scales; two product bucket elevators; two product storage transfer conveyors; two product storage feed conveyors; all associated inlet and discharge chutes, dust collection plenums, ductwork, and slide gates; four product transporters; four day tank cone liners; the dense phase transport system between D&D and Milorganite(R) Storage including all dense phase pneumatic piping, two compressors, 14 silo fill valves, 14 silo purge valves, 14 silo dust valves, seven transport diverter valves; and in the silos, 14 temperature probes, 14 level probes, two purge fans, 14 draw-off valves, removal of abandoned conditioning air system, and replacement of the undersized plant air supply header between the Thickening Building and the D&D Facility with a larger pipe. The change in total project cost is due to increased scope. The project may have a positive impact on the operating budget as this project may lead to increased Milorganite(R) production, resulting in increased sales and higher revenues. As of July 30, 2024, this project is under construction. Construction is expected to last through 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
