摘要

It's no secret that no one wants a sewage pump station in their backyard. But the renovated Norchester Pump Station in Norfolk, Virginia, demonstrates how sanitary infrastructure can seamlessly blend within a residential community. Built in the 1940s and owned by the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD), the pump station struggled to meet current customer demand. In addition, excessive microbial corrosion had caused significant damage to the facility's wet well, increasing the likelihood of collapse. HRSD called on Gannett Fleming's wastewater design and construction team to resolve these concerns and optimize a new pump station that effectively manages both average day and wet weather conditions. Despite several complexities, including the site's limited size, extreme weather, and overwhelming odors, the project team developed solutions that combine both function and form. The new $6.8 million station safely collects and transports sewage, while meeting the aesthetic aspirations of the community. Norchester is HRSD's third largest pump station, and the second largest in its South Shore collection system. Yet, the Norchester site is a mere 62 feet wide, and just 7 feet from neighboring homes. The extremely confined location created a series of challenges, including construction impacts on the structural integrity of the houses, restricted access for construction equipment, and concerns about the overall aesthetics of the pump station. To protect the surrounding community, Gannett Fleming required vibration monitoring during construction. This yielded real-time data that allowed for up-to-the-minute decisions to help mitigate damage to the homes. Site access issues were minimized through close collaboration with the City of Norfolk, which resulted in their rare approval to close the portion of Norchester Avenue directly in front of the pump station for the 2.5-year construction period. To visually integrate in the community, the pump station was designed according to the architectural styling of the neighborhood, with features including white lap siding, red brick masonry accents, decorative columns, and a chimney. Traditional pump station design approaches to wet weather conditions include extra storage in the wet well or larger pumps, which run infrequently and sometimes inefficiently. Historically, less attention was focused on design standards produced by the Hydraulic Institute (HI), the global authority on pumping systems. In the case of Norchester, the Gannett Fleming design team pursued HI standards and created a first for the Hampton Roads collection systems - a self-cleaning, trench-type wet well. This system is efficient, easily cleaned, and creates optimum hydraulic conditions that help optimize pump life. To select the most appropriate pump size for the station, the team first determined the average day and wet weather wastewater flow volume. While the project team was collecting flow data through monitors in street manholes, the region was battered by a Nor'easter. The storm produced a deluge of rainfall, causing significant data anomalies-beyond even a 500-year storm event. The project engineers had to account for this in the design. After careful consideration and calculation, the team advanced a plan to accommodate an average daily flow of 2.6 million gallons per day (mgd) and a wet weather flow of 10.8 mgd. The final design included two 75-horsepower, dry-pit submersible pumps for daily flow conditions, supplemented by two 200-horsepower dry-pit submersible pumps, for wet weather flows. Through the years, HRSD received a number of complaints from residents regarding odors emanating from the previous pump station. Odor sampling yielded off-the-chart levels, which demanded extreme control measures. An advanced odor control system with a biological trickling filter and a secondary carbon scrubber was selected. This system uses biological media to treat the sewer gases, followed by carbon to adsorb any remaining odors. While such high-strength odor control measures are seen in treatment plants, they have not been applied to the regional wastewater authority's pump stations until now. To build the new station on the existing site, the old pump station had to be taken offline. At the same time, sewage flow still needed to be maintained between customers and the treatment plant. To make this possible, a temporary pump station was constructed in the street to allow for demolition of the existing station and construction of the new one. This complex bypass system included a wet well with multiple influents and three temporary bypass pumps hard-piped into the force main. The elaborate sequencing of the bypass implementation consisted of 25 steps, including piping, valving, a 24-inch linestop, installation of a polymer manhole and a 10-foot by 6-foot wet well, and three short-term gravity line bypasses on adjacent streets. Multiple stakeholders were involved in the Norchester Pump Station project, including HRSD, the City of Norfolk, the civic league, a neighboring university and area residents. The project team gave careful consideration to each of their varying concerns for cost, schedule, and priorities, and launched a significant effort to ensure effective and comprehensive community outreach. From public meetings and door-knocking to participation in community days and a full-time construction manager on the front lines, the team addressed noise, vibration, traffic disruption, and construction dust concerns. The architectural enhancements helped the station blend into the neighborhood's character to great effect with the residents. The Norchester Pump Station boasts a beautifully designed facade that fully conceals the sewer infrastructure and provides aesthetic continuity with the rest of the neighborhood. Combined with the station's self-cleaning, trench-type wet well; pumps that are capable of managing various flows; and advanced odor-control technology, the project shines a spotlight on best practices for the seamless blending of critical sanitary infrastructure in a residential community.
