Helping Create an Advanced
Storage Facility for Phildelphia
East Park Storage Facility Site Plan
R2T was contracted as a sub-consultant to work alongside CH2M Hill's Water Business Group to provide design and engineering services for the Philadelphia Water Department's East Park Reservoir, a state-of-the art 60 million gallon storage facility. Our responsibilities included process equipment and process yard piping design.
The facility was designed to fit both the hydraulic grade line of the upstream transmission system and the downstream service zone. Two 30MG circular, pre-stressed concrete water storage tanks, supporting infrastructure, control structures, and monitoring structures were provided.
During the design phasen R2T developeed the schematic yard piping plan and layout considering operational requirements, routing alternatives, piping requirements, alignment to prevent disturbance to existing critical structures, utility conflicts, drain and overflow, coordination with I&C, and connection to existing influent and effluent piping.
We also provided the preliminary design associated with influent flow meters and cone control valves, monitoring equipment, and effluent flow meters and isolation valves. This task included the evaluation of various types of control valves and flow meters.
Detailed Design and Permitting:
- 48-inch cone valves were be used for flow control. The size and configuration of the control valve required extensive coordination and an innovative layout was developed to allow access and removal.
- Finalized calculations of the previous phase for design.
- Finalized the mechanical portion of the P&IDs including pipe sizes and materials, and valve/process equipment types.
- Utilized the conceptual decisions that were made in the Basis of Design Report to Prepare 60, 90, and 100 percent Contract documents including plans, sections, details, and specifications.
- Developed standard details for the project.
- Quality Control on related disciplines.
- Submit Construction Documents as needed for review and permitting through regulatory agencies.
- Assisted with conducting constructability reviews at each design completion state.
