20th & Malang Lift Station Improvements
Joplin, MO
Background
Residential development projects within the 20th and Malang lift station drainage basin were presented to the City. These projects showed the potential for over 750 homes. The existing 20th and Malang lift station had some remaining capacity. However, the developments could not be approved without a lift station capacity evaluation. Additionally, there were remaining undeveloped areas within the drainage basin that had development potential.
Activity
The City engaged Allgeier, Martin to evaluate the situation and determine the most cost-effective solution. The solution required increased capacity of the 20th and Malang lift station drainage basin. Our solution recommended a two-phased approach that would allow increased capacity within the basin. The first phase would construct flow equalization to increase the lift station’s capacity to allow for the development of 750 homes.
Technical Design & Features
- Two 10’ diameter by 21’ deep precast concrete flow equalization
- One 5’ diameter by 22’ deep manhole installed over the existing sewer line to divert wastewater to the flow equalization structures
- Site development for the expansion of the lift station site, including grading, paving, fencing, and perimeter electrical grounding
- Phase 2 force main, additional pumps and controls, site work
