Professional Engineering Services for the Sugar Creek East Equalizatio ... Professional Engineering Services for the Sugar Creek East Equalization Basin, Pump Station, and Forcemain
The East Flow EQ Basin and Grit Facility, constructed in 1997, is located south of the treatment facility along Little Sugar Creek. During high flow events, wastewater flows south by gravity to the Excess Flow Control Chamber via a 54” line. In the Excess Flow Control Chamber, there is a gate that can direct flow to either the McAlpine Creek WWMF or to the Flow EQ Fill Pump Station. With the gate to McAlpine Creek WWMF line closed, wastewater enters the Flow EQ Fill Pump Station and is pumped to the East Fow EQ Basin for storage. Once the storm surge is complete and staff want to empty the East Flow EQ Basin, wastewater can then drain via gravity or Return Flow pumps to the Excess Flow Control Chamber, where it then flows by gravity to McAlpine Creek WWMF.

The Gleneagles Project is primarily focused on replacing an existing CMP culvert near 3810 Gleneagles Road. The existing culvert is 8.7’ high by 7.8’ wide and is being replaced with a 10’ wide and 7’ tall RCBC. The culvert replacement is occurring to address aging infrastructure and to improve the reliability of infrastructure for the traveling public. In support of this culvert replacement, we are dredging the downstream pond which is located on the Quail Hollow Country Club near the 15th hole. The dredging will remove sediment that has built up near the downstream end of the existing culvert and prevent sediment transport downstream which would negatively impact existing ponds and habitats. In addition, we will be adding inlets and upgrading roadside drainage on Out-Of-Bounds Drive which has significant spread in larger storm events from road drainage. The work on Out-Of-Bounds Drive will increase the safety of the traveling public using that roadway during rain events.
