REPOWERING AND AUTOMATION IMPROVEMENTS TO PUMP STATION S-331

METCO was tasked by SFWMD to provide Engineering Services to design and develop construction documents for the following upgrade/improvements to their Pump Station S-331:

• Pre-procure new 4X 255 HP new environmentally compliant electronically controlled diesel engines to replace the existing for all three (3) main pumps and one spare.
• Refurbish of the existing right-angle speed reducers on all three (3) main pumps.
• Convert the existing stuffing box with a split-face mechanical seal arrangement on all three (3) main pumps.
• Replace the existing engine control panels with new panels.
• Design to upgrade the existing power and control wiring for all pumps to comply with the Code and District requirements.
• Design new Station Control Panel and integrate into the Regional Command and Control Center system for remote operation of the pumps.
• The new improvements are intended to improve the ability to control and monitor the pump station from the remote location with enhanced reliability and operational flexibility.

METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH

Equipment inventory; DDR including Technical Memo with the findings and design concepts; Preliminary Design; TRB; Pre- final design, TRB; Permitting Support; Construction Cost estimate; Final design Package; Engineering During Construction (EDC).

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL

Used Dr. Check QA/QC procedures to resolve the review comments at different stages of design document development, performed internal QA/QC prior to every submittal and issued Form - 1292 “Quality certificate of Compliance”, Develop probable opinion of construction cost estimate (OPCC) using DCM-7 estimation guidelines of the District.

MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Implemented a proven project management approach that includes developing a project specific Project Management Plan (PMP). The PMP defines the project staff, communication protocols, budget, schedule, and QA/QC process.
