Long-Term Collaboration to Maximize the Infrastructure Functionality

The Alexander Orr, Jr. Water Treatment Plant is Miami-Dade County’s largest potable water production facility. We provided operational improvement and regulatory-compliance consulting at the AOWTP and the South Water Supply System through a multiple-year, on-call contract. We partnered with operators and staff to identify next steps to get the most function from their infrastructure. Our assignments included:

• Facility and condition assessment
• Lime kiln renewal and component replacement
• Value engineering/analysis study of the switchgear building expansion
• Preliminary engineering of natural gas bypass reducing station and pipeline
• Settling basin influent study
• Design of engine driven high service pump replacement
• Bench-scale testing and process optimization
• Feasibility planning for operation and maintenance storage facilities
• Preliminary engineering, design and construction phase services for various large diameter water mains
