Site work for a civil project in Paulding, Ohio. Completed plans call for site work for a one-story above grade water / sewer project; one-story above grade water / sewer project; and one-story above grade water / sewer project.

The project will include comprehensive improvements to the Wayne Street Lift Station, the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), and the sanitary sewer system. At the lift station, work will involve installing a new level transducer with associated electrical and controls, replacing the control panel, and adding a permanent natural gas generator with an automatic transfer switch. Additional upgrades include the installation of bollards, a new submersible pump, a precast concrete top on the wet well with a new access hatch and fall protection, and a davit crane for safe equipment handling. At the WWTP, the scope includes removing existing chlorine disinfection equipment, making minor structural modifications, and installing a new ultraviolet disinfection system. Other tasks include modifying existing telemetry systems, adding stabilization bracing to sludge dewatering piping, removing existing valving and a sampling port, installing new valves for the Sludge Dewatering Lift Station, and converting the existing transfer switch to an automatic transfer switch. Sanitary sewer system enhancements will consist of installing 12 new sanitary sewer manholes with full-depth composite lining and investigating potential cross-connections between the sanitary sewer and stormwater collection systems along Harrison Street.
