Project Details

Keller Engineers water/wastewater team designed a 500,000 GPD extended aeration wastewater treatment facility, pumping facilities, 160,000 LF wastewater mains, and associated appurtenances to serve 860 existing customers and the Glendale Yearound Development. The project also included waterline extensions to the Beaver Valley and Flinton areas of White Township.

A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Control System was originally installed with the pump stations. In 2020 the system was upgraded to operate and monitor various controls at the wastewater treatment facility, including activation by use of dissolved oxygen probes.

We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
