Carbondale Wastewater Treatment

Improving the Town of Carbondale’s clarifier at the Wastewater Treatment Facility.

For this wastewater treatment facility, we provided key civil engineering services and specialized water engineering insights throughout the design process. The project included a preliminary study and modeling to determine the appropriate sizing of clarifiers to meet the current State regulations for current and projected future flows. This information was used to determine the recommended number and location of the proposed clarifiers. Due to site constraints and the need to keep the existing facility operational throughout the course of the project, we worked with local Contractors to provide the most cost-efficient option that met the Town’s needs. The project was in the design phase with construction planned for 2019. The design includes hydraulic modeling, clarifier sizing, location recommendations, piping layout, process review, constructibility analysis, clarifier cover design, cost analysis, and permitting.

Challenges & highlights

As Engineer of Record for the Basalt Sanitation District, we oversee projects ranging from wastewater treatment facilities to collection system improvements.

We serve multiple districts across Colorado’s mountain communities and have partnered with Basalt Sanitation District since 2018. This long-term relationship reflects our commitment to consistent results.

The results

Our long-standing relationship and proven track record allow us to help the District make informed, long-term decisions that strengthen the community and better serve its customers.

Through nearly a decade of partnership, we have developed deep institutional knowledge of the District’s systems, allowing us to solve problems more efficiently and approach planning holistically.

During our tenure as District Engineer, we have helped secure over $1.5 million in grant funding for capital projects, completed a rate study to guide the next 30 years of service, and established a financial plan that supports long-term stability alongside future improvements.
