Project Details

This project began with a study which involved TV inspection, smoke testing, and cost analysis. It was determined that the most efficient, cost-effective solution was to build a new wastewater collection system rather than repair/rehabilitate the existing system.

The new 20,000 LF collection system and laterals resulted in a very tight collection system meeting all required standards – even heavy rainstorms had no impact on the wastewater flows. A Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources representative stated that this system is the model for other communities to follow.

We have teamed with Keller Engineers on several design-build projects for PennDOT. When selecting a designer, the more critical factors are trust and competence, more so than a low price. If your designer makes a mistake in quantities it can cost you a lot of money. We have stayed with Keller Engineers because we trust them to provide competent service at a competitive price. S.
