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 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.
