Offsite Storm and Sanitary Sewer Systems
Project: Offsite Storm and Sanitary Sewer Systems
Owner: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Architect(s): STV Incorporated/Perkins +Will
Location: Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland
Summary:
James Construction installed the new storm and sanitary sewer systems serving multiple other new construction projects that are part of a major expansion of the Fort Detrick military base.
The storm sewer installation included two 1,050 feet long parallel runs of specialty 34” x 56” Class V elliptical reinforced concrete pipe and associated pre-cast concrete storm structures. This system tied into an existing retention pond.
The sanitary sewer installation consisted of approximately 2,400 feet of 15” SDR pipe and pre-cast concrete manhole structures, connecting to an existing sanitary manhole which
was a permit required confined space.
James Construction excavated nearly 2,000 cubic yards of rock to create a trench in excess of 15 feet deep. Excavation work took place beneath high voltage lines. It also required the relocation and support of existing underground utilities.
