GRAVITY-FLOW, FORCE MAINS, LATERAL FIELDS...
HOW CAN WE HELP?
With most land-development projects, the waste water (or sanitary sewer) system is the first utility to be installed. This system ordinarily relies on the force of gravity to move sewage through a network of pipes.
Proper collection and treatment of sewage is critical to the health and welfare of a community. The effluent—which can consist of human waste, industrial waste, and household waste—requires careful conveyance and safe disposal.
Design considerations include:
- Physical conditions of existing and proposed sites.
- Regulations of sanitation agencies.
- Location of existing sanitary sewer networks.
- Usage of site.
- Requirements for peak flow.
- Cost.
- Plan for growth.
While gravity-flow systems are the most common, Lutjen also provides designs for force mains and pump systems. These systems accommodate conveyance when existing outfalls are too high for a gravity-flow system. In the event that your property falls outside the service area of a public system, Lutjen can provide a solution. Regardless of your existing conditions, Lutjen can provide you with various wastewater management strategies to meet your specific project objectives.
Wastewater services:
