This project intends to reroute a segment of gravity line and replace an existing Pump Station and Force Main serving the I-65 Northbound Welcome Center in Simpson County, KY. The gravity portion will require directional bore under a pavement segment to maintain truck traffic. The manhole immediately upstream of the station will be replaced with a "pretreatment" grinder/manhole combination called a "Muffin Monster". The current station has developed consistent malfunction and requires the KYTC to mobilize a pump trunk to evacuate the existing pump station wet well at an exorbitant monthly cost. It is suspected the existing force main has developed downstream issues affecting the ability of the existing system to function. The KYTC, through the KY Dept of Finance and DECA, elected to replace the station and force main. A portion of the force main traverse's private property ( KY DOWNS Gaming, Horse Racing and Hotel Complex) and will require a utility easement for new routing until it ends at an existing sewer manhole owned and maintained by the City of Franklin. This manhole will be reconstructed as part of the project. Stabilize/reseed all disturbed areas affected by the scope of work.
