Morton Grove - Niles Water Commission

Robinson was part of a 5-firm team charged with completing Phase 1 within four months, Phase 2 within 6 months, and construction within 10 months. The team performed survey, geotechnical, and permitting for the entire route, along with full design for 2 of 7 contracts.

​

The project scope included managing company resources across multiple departments while interfacing with the consulting team and clients. The project consisted of 8.5 miles of 30” and 24” water main, a 7MG standpipe, a booster pumping station, and CIPP lining of two miles of existing 24” water main, along with replacement of over 60 lead service lines along the project route through Skokie, IL. Major crossings included the Edens Expressway, I-294, the north branch of the Chicago River, and multiple railroads. These efforts resulted in aggressive design and construction timetables being met, and Morton Grove and Niles saving $22,000 per day using the new water source.
