Scope Of Work
This $123 Million project consisted of the construction of a new raw water intake and pumping plant on the Sacramento River. The project included the demolition (non-hazardous and hazardous material removal) of an existing waste water treatment plant, and the construction of a sheet pile cofferdam with a 10 foot thick tremie seal slab. This made way for the construction of a new architecturally innovative pump building that sits atop a 20,000 CY structural concrete intake structure. The pump building and intake structure house eight 2,000 HP pumps and motors with variable frequency drives that deliver a combined maximum 185 MGD of raw water to both Sacramento County and East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) for treatment.
The Freeport Water Intake was the recipient of the American Society of CIvil Engineers' Outstanding Engineering Project Award – Water/Wastewater Category in 2010.
