prevent future sewer overflows.
WARR
ACRES, Okla., May 17, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The city of Warr Acres, Okla. has contracted Smith Roberts
Baldischwiler (SRB) and Woolpert to provide sanitary sewer
evaluation survey services to update its existing sewer system and
prevent future sewer overflows. The city's sanitary sewer system
was primarily constructed between the late 1950s and the 1980s, and
many of the existing pipes and manholes have reached the end of
their planned service life.
"The city has experienced overflows in some
areas, and this investigation will help identify problem areas and
what is causing these issues."
SRB Project Manager Amanda Way
said that the SSES will provide a comprehensive investigation of
the Warr Acres sanitary sewer
system using a closed-circuit television camera to inspect
approximately 100,000 linear feet of pipe. Additionally, SRB and
Woolpert will investigate approximately 900 manholes and perform
roughly 240,000 linear feet of smoke testing. The project is fully
funded by American Rescue Plan Act funds.
"The city has experienced overflows in some areas, and this
investigation will help identify problem areas and what is causing
these issues," Way said. "The cleaning will help remove years of
dirt, grease, and debris that have gotten into the system, while
smoke testing will help identify where there may be leaks that
allow for inflow into the system."
Woolpert Vice President Carla
Muscarella said that this effort will provide a
comprehensive condition assessment of the city's sewer system and
establish a baseline that will be used to develop prioritized
rehabilitation recommendations for Warr
Acres.
"It is always exciting to be an integral part of a project from
the initial data collection through the final recommendations for
our clients," Muscarella said. "Our partnership with SRB has
allowed both our firms to expand our service offerings in
Oklahoma and the Midwest."
This contract is underway.
