Interior drywall work continues
NEW UPDATE: Wastewater Wednesdays!
Last week, construction crews made solid strides. The 36-inch exterior process pipe connections near the Nereda basins were finalized. Insulation and wallboard installation progressed inside the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) building. The canopy over the chlorine storage building was placed, and vertical turbine reuse pumps were installed at the chlorine contact chamber.
This week, interior drywall work continues inside the O&M building, bringing us closer to a fully functional operations hub. In the main electrical and blower buildings, crews are pouring pedestal slabs to support future switchgear and high-voltage breaker panels. Progress also continues on the discharge header of the groundwater storage tank (GST) pumps, which will carry treated effluent to the reuse storage tank before final disposal. New aerial photos provide a clear view of overall progress and how close we are to completing this major milestone.
Over on the conveyance side, the force main was successfully flushed and pressure tested. Crews are now focused on restoration efforts and preparing to connect the new force main to the existing system
Each step forward brings us closer to a stronger, smarter, and more sustainable future for Fort Pierce. FPUA is proud to lead this important work through thoughtful planning and long-term solutions.
As always, we’d like to thank all of our partners, contractors, vendors, and crews who are helping us deliver this important project to our customers! FPUA is grateful for this project with industry leaders Globaltech, Inc., Haskell and Hazen, the site designers and build team; TLC Diversified, Inc., re-routing the conveyance system to redirect wastewater flows away from the Indian River Lagoon; Kimley-Horn, the conveyance system designers, and the sub-contractors working so hard to keep this project safe and on schedule.
