Merrillville Conservative District Main Lift Station Rehabilitation & Parking Lot

​

Overview

A 4,000,000 gallons/day lift station was over capacity and past its useful life expectancy. We completed an evaluation of the existing lift station and proposed necessary improvements.

Scope​

• Designed a comprehensive SCADA system to monitor critical operations for major lift stations

• Reused existing pile foundation for new control building

​

Results​​

• Expanded capacity to 7,800,000 gallons/day

• Eliminated confined space entry for common operation and maintenance tasks

• Provided reliability and ensured against basement backup conditions with robust and redundant equipment

• Minimized project foot print and costs
