As of now, all three tanks have been poured.

The discharge was buried to prevent soil and other materials from getting into the treatment system.

The concrete tanks are 120 ft. in diameter and 12 ft. deep.

The tunnel, once daylighted, was an impressive site to see...It can only be seen in pictures now.

Posted by Picasa

All three tank floors were poured consecutively..The tank walls were constructed and poured one at a time.

Posted by Picasa

The discharge was daylighted for the 1st time in more than a decade.

The pads for the tanks were quickly prepared as soon as excavation was completed. The site had a lot of water so the contractor had to do a lot of extra work to install adequate drainage.

Posted by Picasa

One large hold was excavated for the three tanks. This took several weeks to complete.

Posted by Picasa

Road was moved to make room for the concrete tanks. Additional stormwater management facilities had to be installed to handle upslope runoff.

Welcome to the Audenreid Blog

I wanted to find a way to keep everyone updated on the Audenreid project and share pictures on the construction progress. I hope that this blog will serve that purpose. Come back often and check for updates on the system's progress. I will be posting photos regularly.

Thanks
Tom
