Gresham Smith is excited to announce the completion of a new state-of-the-art wet weather storage facility at Clarksville, Tennessee’s New Meadowbrook Sewer Lift Station. Now fully operational, the facility will play a critical role in improving Clarksville’s wastewater collection and conveyance system. Clarksville Gas & Water selected Gresham Smith to design the facility to help mitigate peak flows within the city’s sewer collection system, especially during periods of heavy rainfall. By improving operational efficiency and environmental sustainability, the new wet weather storage facility is expected to significantly reduce the occurrence of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).
The project encompassed the design and construction of several key components, including a peak-flow diversion structure, a 3.5 million-gallon-per-day equalization pump station, and a 1.25-million-gallon prestressed concrete equalization tank. Additionally, significant upgrades were made to the existing New Meadowbrook Sewer Lift Station.
“Gresham Smith is proud to have partnered with the City of Clarksville on this vital infrastructure project,” said Craig Parker, senior vice president of Gresham Smith’s Water + Environment market. “Our goal was to deliver a highly efficient, innovative solution that not only enhances Clarksville’s wastewater collection and conveyance system but also protects its residents and the environment from the impacts of sanitary sewer overflows.”
Gresham Smith’s engineering services also included comprehensive hydraulic modeling, strategic site selection for the storage tank, and the preparation of a preliminary engineering report. The firm also provided full design, bidding and construction services to ensure the project’s successful implementation.
