Pre-fabricated steel wall framing boards prepped for pours on May 17
This week we’re seeing more progress made on the Nereda basin foundation, with only two pours left before crews begin working on the 20 foot vertical pours of the basin walls!
Progress of the reclaim storage tank’s construction
This week’s Wastewater Wednesday features updates and photos showing the continuing progress of the reclaim storage tank’s construction, now nearing its final wall thickness and ready for the crew to move on to framing/building the domed roof of the tank.
Watch: virtual tour of the new reclamation facility!
FPUA Water Reclamation Operations Supervisor Mike Martin recently presented an update on the new Mainland Water Reclamation Facility to the Fort Pierce Sunrise Kiwanis Club, an active local community club that's dedicated to youth in our community. During his presentation, Mike shared a virtual tour of the completed plant, along with aerial photos showing progress of the AquaNereda foundation and the reuse tank.
AquaNereda basin concrete foundation poured
Today’s photos show the first major concrete pour of the AquaNereda basin’s foundation, with roughly 600 yards out of a total more than 3,500 yards poured this week. This will continue every week after until the foundation is done and ready to support the future walls. The build team has also started layering the pre-stressed concrete reuse storage tank with its first coats of shotcrete to add structural support.
Structural framing progress and major steel reinforcement
Today’s photos show the structural framing progress and major steel reinforcement of the primary treatment tank foundation, which is scheduled for its first of multiple concrete pours next week. The pre-stressed concrete reuse tank structure is vertical and is also ready for its first coat of shotcrete this week.
