East Miramar Redevelopment Transmission & Distribution Water Main

admin — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:10:48 +0000

The City of Miramar, in an effort to provide their residents with the best water service, has identified sectors of the city requiring upgrades to the existing water mains. The primary deficiency is fire protection. This includes inadequate fire flows and fire hydrants. CES has been contracted to design approximately 72,000 L.F. of 6-inch water main for the City of Miramar. The functionality of the design is for improved fire protection throughout the neighborhoods, which currently has 2-inch and 4-inch water mains. CES is also tasked with locating required fire hydrants to be attached to existing 6-inch and greater water mains. The final product will provide residents with essential fire protection, and it will also increase the water flow and provide better water pressure to the residents.

Miami-Dade County Wastewater Master Plan

admin — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:09:55 +0000

CES is currently providing engineering design services to the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department in an effort to develop remedial action plans (RAP) to bring over 350 wastewater pump stations into operating compliance. The recommended upgrades will ensure compliance with the 10-hour run time per day limit criteria. A major input in the development of the remedial action plans is the projected flows through the 2030 planning horizon. The purpose of this task is to evaluate all aspects of the pump station, identify deficiencies and provide necessary recommendations for improvements to increase the critical station capacity and reduce pump run times below the 10-hour per day limit. The recommended improvements for individual pump stations will then be evaluated on a system wide basis.
