Key project elements include:
- Installation of 229 H-Piles to support future pump station
- Installation 194 auger cast piles for support of diversion chambers
- Installation of 800 linear feet of Microtunneling work of 72 inch and 42 inch diameter sewers
- Installation of 1000 vertical linear feet of jet grout columns
- Placement of 9,500 cubic yards of reinforced concrete
- Installation of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and HVAC system for the future pump station
- Installation of a green roof
- Installation of structural steel for skeleton of the pump station
