Scope Of Work
The existing headworks system was obsolete and not screening the influent properly. Over time, excess grit and debris can cause damage to equipment and compromise the integrity of the treated water.
Florida Design Contractors constructed a new headworks structure, as shown above, which included a Mechanical Screening System, Grit Removal System, and Reclaimed Water Distribution System to deliver seal and flushing water to the equipment listed above. The FGUA was able to minimize expenses by utilizing reclaimed water in lieu of potable water for the seal and flushing systems. The following major manufacturers were involved throught the process:
Mechanical Screening System – Huber Technology
Grit Removal System – Hydro International
Reclaimed Water Delivery – Patterson Pump
Instrumentation and Controls – BCI Technologies
