March Field Trip - Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant and Headworks
A technical
field trip was to the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant and Headworks
Facility projects, both of which are under construction by general contractor
RCI Construction Group. RCI project manager / Hawaii Section YMF
member Scott Jennings, sacrificed his busy Saturday morning to lead the
group of nine on a two-hour tour of the projects. As work continued
on both projects, the group was treated to a behind the scenes look at
the on-going construction activities, including foundations for the two
new 140' diameter primary clarifiers, high-tech ultraviolet light disinfection
equipment, and effluent piping systems. Scott provided narration
throughout the field trip and explained how jet grouting was being used
for foundation stabilization and groundwater control, as well as for the
wet-well excavation support systems. The massive pipes being installed
to convey the wastewater include dual 78", 84", and 96" diameter reinforced
concrete pressure pipes and an 84” diameter venturi flow meter! When completed,
the facility will accommodate an ultimate peak flow of 270 million gallons
per day for treatment.
The YMF
would like to thank Scott Jennings and RCI for the great opportunity to
tour these projects. The attendees were so impressed with the field
trip that return visits are being planned to get a glimpse of these projects
at various stages of construction. For information on attending future
YMF field trips contact the YMF Field Trip Committee Chair (Florence Ching)
