Project
Pee Dee Road Pump Station Replacement
McAdams contracted with the Town of Southern Pines to assess the condition of the Town’s 17 sanitary sewer pump stations. The assessment data collected was utilized to develop a hierarchy of recommended actions that formed the basis of the Town’s program to systematically address the most critical items within their network of pump stations. The program was implemented using a phased approach to allow for the planning necessary for this work to be integrated into their future CIP programs / budgets. Acting on these recommendations the Town elected to address one of the most critical sites identified, the Pee Dee Road Pump Station, and implement a full replacement of the pump station.

The existing pump station required confined space entry for maintenance and utilized a compressor-style pump, which puts a strain on maintenance staff. Additionally, the existing pump station capacity was unable to meet the minimum two feet per second velocity requirements in the existing force main. Therefore, McAdams was contracted to provide planning, design and construction administration services to convert the Pee Dee Road Pump Station to a submersible-style pump station. During the planning stage of the project, it was determined that the sewer downstream of the existing discharge location did not have the capacity to convey the flow from the proposed pump station. Therefore, McAdams performed additional surveying to determine the proper location to redirect the Pee Dee Road Pump Station force main and provided the design for the force main realignment.
