Project Overview
VanCon remodeled existing structures to increase the capacity and prolong the life of the Bluffdale water treatment sedimentation basins. VanCon removed deteriorated chain and flight and poured seismic reinforcing concrete walls inside two basins and two buttresses outside the basins. VanCon infilled around the troughs through the effluent wall of four basins. VanCon repaired clarifiers for basins 1 and 2. VanCon installed new chain and flight and replaced pumps for six basins. The work took place through an unexpectedly extra snowy winter, requiring ice chipping and snow removal almost daily.
