Pump Station 018, Pinellas County, Florida
Provided geotechnical engineering services to support the design of a new Pump Station and approximately 1000 LF of force main with 3 feet of cover in Pinellas County, Florida.
MC Squared provides specialized geotechnical and materials testing services for water and wastewater infrastructure projects. Our expertise supports the development of reservoirs, treatment facilities, pump stations, and distribution systems, ensuring structural integrity and long-term performance under varying environmental conditions.
We prioritize cost-effective, sustainable solutions that enhance water quality, protect public health, and improve system reliability. Our team collaborates with municipalities, utilities, and engineering firms to optimize designs, mitigate risks, and support regulatory compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
Through advanced testing methodologies and a deep understanding of subsurface conditions, we help deliver resilient infrastructure that efficiently manages water resources and withstands future demand.
Provided geotechnical engineering services to support the design of a new Pump Station and approximately 1000 LF of force main with 3 feet of cover in Pinellas County, Florida.
Provided subsurface investigations and associated recommendations for this project which was intended to improve the water quality of the effluent from the Combined Sewer Outfall (CSO) system of the Stockade sub-basin in southeast Atlanta. The plan included the design of approximately 52,000 LF of new sanitary sewer and 11,000 LF of new storm sewers including tunneling under I-20.
Provided the planned structures included an electrical building, an odor control building, and a wet well for the proposed pump station The wet well shaft was approximately 200 feet deep with circular concrete walls to house pumps and store wastewater.The excavation for the shaft consisted of open cut to top of rock followed by rock excavation by blasting or by shoring the excavation using soldier piles and lagging system. We performed geotechnical explorations, rock coring and laboratory testing to arrive with the most cost-effective foundation system to support the construction.
Served as the owner’s representative onsite as well as providing construction materials testing and inspection services, such as concrete and soils testing, and offsite lab concrete compression testing. Also provided remediation solutions associated with the removal and replacement of a 24” groundwater runoff drain pipe on the northside of the reservoir dam.
Provided geotechnical and foundation recommendations for the project vicinity, conduct soil drilling & make recommendations for the foundation design. Also, provided construction oversight, value engineering and inspection. Provided construction materials testing and inspection during Vibro-Replacement for the Biological Treatment and Effluent Pump Station Structures.
Provided Geotechnical Engineering Recommendations and construction materials testing and inspection for the 100 acres natural effluent treatment facility. The project consists of building an impoundment (earthen dam) to treat wastewater.
