Savannah, Georgia aThe Travis Field WRF & Force Main project involved the design and construction of a new 4.0 MGD Water Reclamation Facility built on the site of a former treatment facility in Savannah, Georgia. The scope included demolition of existing structures, cleanout and filling of existing treatment lagoons, and upgrading the on-site Lift Station 40 to an 8,400 GPM influent pump station. Major facility components constructed by Ruby-Collins included a new headworks structure with rotary drum fine screens and grit separation, a 2 MG prestressed concrete equalization tank, a flat plate MBR biological treatment system with anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic zones for nutrient removal, UV disinfection, aerobic digestion, and an effluent pump station. The project also included a new administration building, solids handling building, plant SCADA system, and six months of operational performance testing of the membrane system.
Complementing the facility, the project also included installation of a new 17,000 LF 30-inch ductile iron force main, primarily constructed via open cut with 2,400 LF installed by horizontal directional drill and 400 LF by jack and bore. An erosion control structure was also constructed at the outfall to the Savannah River.
In Phase I, we delivered a 4 MGD facility that can be expanded to 8 MGD. Our crews also performed site improvements, including grading, paving, and stormwater drainage. In Phase II, we added roughly 17,000 LF of 30” effluent force main.
This project was located on an active military installation, which required extensive coordination for access and deliveries for the project.
