Keck + Wood designs wastewater collection systems that support reliable conveyance and regulatory compliance. Our work includes gravity sewers, force mains, pump stations, and system upgrades. We evaluate capacity, alignment, and constructability to develop solutions that function effectively within existing conditions. These designs support dependable wastewater service and long-term system reliability.

Keck + Wood conducted a study for CWR to assess the impact of a local industry’s proposed expansion on Regional Pump Station No. 2, revealing the need for an upgrade to accommodate increased and future flows. KW prepared a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), which helped secure Economic Development Administration funding, and provided design, permitting, and construction administration for the upgrade. The new pump station includes three variable frequency-driven pumps, a 9,000-foot 14-inch force main, and is designed to add one million gallons per day of additional capacity to the CWR system, with KW handling all necessary permits and surveying.

This project consisted of construction 6,000 feet of 30 inch ductile iron sewer in same trench location as existing 18 inch sewer that was removed during the installation process. Work also included additional replacement manholes, concrete support piers, and temporary bypass pumping system in 42 locations. Sewer line capacity upgrade was completed without additional easement acquisition and avoided rock excavation extra cost due to sewer replacement in existing trench backfill soil. Keck + Wood provided preliminary engineering evaluations, construction cost estimate comparisons, preparation of construction drawings and specifications, and construction contract administration.

The project involved constructing a plant influent flow diversion structure to divert metered flow from the City’s 2.0 MGD treatment plant to a nearby County sanitary sewer line for downstream treatment. The work included building the structure over two existing 24-inch influent sewers, installing isolation valves, and equipping the system with electronic metering connected to SCADA for continuous flow monitoring. Keck + Wood provided preliminary engineering, cost estimates, coordination with County staff, preparation of construction documents, and construction administration for the project.

Keck + Wood provided civil engineering, land surveying, permitting, bidding, and construction administration services for the Town of Heath Springs’ CDBG-funded Pump Station Improvement Project, which included upgrades to three pump stations. The project involved replacing the Flat Rock Pump Station and rehabilitating the Caskey and Depot Pump Stations, with all existing force mains cleaned through pigging. Specialized cutting pumps were installed to address ongoing rag clogging issues and reduce operation and maintenance costs.
