Renovation of a water / sewer project in Lexington, Kentucky. Completed plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

Town Branch Primary Digester Roof Leak Repairs The primary digester complex at Town Branch Wastewater Treatment Plant (TBWWTP) underwent a process upgrade between 2018 and 2020. Various equipment including digester covers and digester gas equipment were rehabilitated or replaced. The project also included roofing replacement. During the upgrade the existing steel floating dual-deck cover on Digester No. 2 was demolished and replaced with a dual membrane gasholding cover. The dual membrane gasholding cover was specified in anticipation of future implementation of digester gas beneficial use. To facilitate installation of the membrane cover, a concrete mounting ring was formed and placed at the top of the inside tank wall of Primary Digester No. 2. The membrane cover mounted and anchored to the concrete mounting ring has inadvertently introduced a path for water intrusion into the digester control building adjacent to the tank wall. The improvements specified in this project address this water intrusion by modifying the concrete mounting ring and reflashing the roofing/tank wall/digester control building interface. To facilitate this work, the membrane cover will need to be removed and later reinstalled. In addition to the water intrusion due to the mounting ring, damage to through wall flashing where the lower digester control building roof abuts Digester No. 2 has led to additional water intrusion into the building. Masonry work and flashing replacement are required in this area. The TBWWTP Primary Digester No. 2 Roof Leak Repairs includes labor, materials, tools, equipment, testing, and all other incidentals to complete the Work. Bidder shall subcontract with the membrane cover manufacturer, Evoqua Water Technologies (Evoqua), to remove and reinstall the cover.
