Glen R. Byrd - Project Manager
Originally constructed in 1993, the water treatment facility was design to treat water from the McGee Creek Reservoir at a rate of 1.5 MGD. The 3-filter bay treatment facility is housed in a building constructed with concrete double tee panels. The facility includes an on-site above ground clearwell with a capacity of 508,000 gallons. The facility furnishes water to the RWD No. 4 and the Town of Stringtown. The original cost of the water treatment facility was $1.15 million. The facility capacity was recently expanded with an additional treatment unit to 2.0 MGD. The expansion cost $ 378,000. The facility now provides improved service to the existing system and additional service to a new rural water district in Choctaw County.

WASTEWATER SYSTEMS

Wastewater system design is an important service that Poe & Associates provides to cities and towns throughout the region. Design elements include sewer lines, pumping stations and treatment facilities. We have also completed several projects involving recycling and reuse of treated wastewater

ZOO INTERCEPTOR SEWER OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA City of Oklahoma City 420 West Main St., Suite 500 Oklahoma City, OK 73102 (405) 297-2068
Richard Grotte, P.E. - Project Manager
The 36-inch Zoo Interceptor Sewer was replaced in this project. This old, deteriorated concrete line runs approximately four miles from Remington Park, through the Oklahoma City Zoo, the Lincoln Park Golf Course and the Springlake Campus of the Metro Technology Center, on into the older residential area of northeast Oklahoma City. Extensive flow monitoring was done to gauge capacity and determine infiltration/inflow problems. This information was used in routing and sizing the replacement line. The line runs through the middle of the zoo and much coordination and planning were required during the design. The line also bisects the golf course. Particular attention was given to the routing in order to avoid unnecessary damage to the course.

DRAINAGE AND FLOOD CONTROL

Public works projects involving storm water runoff and flood control are a major part of Poe & Associates capabilities. We have designed pipelines, drainage structures and detention facilities using state-of-the-art hydraulics and hydrology software.

THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA BROOKS STREET DRAINAGE PROJECT NORMAN, OKLAHOMA Architectural and Engineering Services The University of Oklahoma Campus Planner 1652 Cross Center Drive Norman, Oklahoma 73019 405-325-4194
Richard Grotte, P.E. - Project Manager Shane Smith, E.I. - Project Engineer
This $2.4 million project, recommended in the O.U. Utilities Master Plan, constructed a new main storm sewer serving the northeast quadrant of the O.U. Campus. Due to time constraints the project was broken into two construction contracts and was substantially complete in August 2002. The downstream component is a 9' x 6' pre-cast concrete box running from the Duck Pond to the north side of Memorial Stadium. Construction methods were primarily open trench, patching the parking areas and streets after installation. The upstream component was primarily the installation of a 66" R.C.P. running from the north side of Memorial Stadium to the west side of the Student Union. Due to the high volume of pedestrian traffic and the desire to preserve the historical campus area, the pipe was bored and jacked twenty feet below the surface.
