I’ve worked with Daniel over the past few years at PC and I am excited for him to take on this role. He brings a wealth of field management experience and a solid understanding of the Georgia and Florida regions. Daniel is ideally suited to help clients as they plan and pursue their construction goals.

“I’m looking forward to leveraging my relationships and building new partnerships in the Georgia and Florida regions,” said Daniel. “This role aligns perfectly with my experience and my vision for helping clients as they embark on their journey to construct new water and wastewater infrastructure.”

I will present “CMAR and Early Contractor Involvement Puts Critical Infrastructure Project on Path to Success”. This session is based on PC Construction’s experience on the Atlanta Water Supply Program project.

Details: In 2007 the City of Atlanta was in critical need of emergency water storage and their existing supply was in jeopardy of failure due to aging infrastructure. Their concept – to mine a five-mile tunnel under the City from an abandoned rock quarry to the Chattahoochee River – would supply a new 2.4-billion-gallon reservoir. Successful completion would provide 30 days of emergency water storage and ensure access to clean, safe drinking water for the next 100 years. Construction manager at-risk (CMAR) was chosen as the delivery method due to the immense complexity of the project, budget concerns and the desire to collaborate early with a construction partner. The City’s Department of Watershed Management had never delivered a project using the CMAR process but knew that proactive collaboration would be key to ensuring a successful outcome. What followed brought together a truly collaborative team of engineers, owners, contractors, suppliers, and trade contractors to produce 12 guaranteed maximum price proposals, five years of complex construction at multiple sites, zero recordable injuries and a new water supply program that was delivered on time and below budget.

PC Preconstruction Specialist Laura Simmers is teaming with Joe Uglevich, Vice President, Director Water Delivery – North America at Stantec, to present “Mitigating the Impacts of Volatile Market Conditions through Progressive Design-Build”. This session looks at how these issues were tackled on WSSC Water’s Piscataway WRRF Bioenergy Project.

Details: COVID-19, extreme inflation and staffing shortages have ravaged our industry. The team currently building the Bioenergy facility for WSSC Water has mitigated all of these challenges through the benefits of Progressive Design-Build (PDB). Learn how a collaborative team of builders, designers and owner staff have come together to offset overheated market conditions, labor shortages and price volatility within the current budget. The $270 million Bio-Energy facility at the Piscataway WRRF for WSSC Water began construction in late 2019 just months before the COVID pandemic struck the US. The team was forced to quickly take decisive action to keep the project on course. We will share with you how this highly technical project is now on track to finish on time and on budget. Re-prioritizing submittals to release early procurement, onsite material storage, 100% paperless document sharing, drone documentation, utilization of alternative construction materials, minimizing labor-intensive construction methods and the onsite presence of the design team to encourage collaboration and innovative problem-solving are just a few examples of tools implemented to navigate the unsteady waters.

The Dutchland tank at the Lynchburg site measures approximately 172 feet by 127 feet with wall heights ranging between 29 feet and 34 feet. To accommodate the tank’s location within a flood plain, the cast-in-place concrete slab for the tank incorporates rock anchors to resist buoyancy during rain events.

The entire tank will be set in 11 days with one panel being erected every 15 minutes during the daily installation timeframe. Upon completion of testing, the structure will accept and store up to four million gallons of combined sewer overflow during significant rain events. As the plant can accept the increased volume, the fluid will flow by gravity from the tank to the wastewater treatment plant for processing before release into the river. In the past, if the plant exceeded capacity, the water went directly into the river without treatment.

This project is one of the City of Lynchburg’s largest capital improvement projects and is part of their overall plan to address 132 overflow points within the system and eliminate 93% of the city’s combined overflow issues.
