Sherman Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements

City of Sherman

Project Details

Provenance Engineering provided design support and value engineering for a $7 million renovation of an 8-MGD wastewater treatment plant. Our team collaborated with the design engineering team to identify operational improvements, cost savings, and methods to expedite construction.

Project components: 
  • 8 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant

Challenges

The project required removing dome covers from clarifiers located directly beneath overhead power lines, posing safety and logistical risks. Additionally, the original shutdown plan for replacing multiple frozen aeration basin gates called for nearly a dozen plant shutdowns, significantly impacting operations.

Solutions

Provenance Engineering developed a safe and cost-effective method to remove the clarifier domes without using a large crane, reducing the risk of electrocution. To minimize operational disruptions, we proposed an innovative approach that reduced the number of plant shutdowns during the gate replacement from 12 to just two, ensuring continuity of service while accelerating project timelines.
