Leo J. Vander Lands Water Treatment Facility Calcium Chloride Bulk Storage Expansion

Water Replenishment District

Construction Management/Inspection

Completed 2021

AKM provided construction management and inspection services for the Calcium Chloride Bulk Storage Expansion Project which entailed an expansion of the existing calcium chloride bulk storage system within the Leo J. Vander Lans Advanced Water Treatment Facility (LVLAWTF). The project provided a new 5,000 gallon tank, resulting in a total stora ge capacity of 10,000 gallons. Necessary construction elements for completion of the system expansion included:

  • Demolition work and clearing of the proposed location of the expanded bulk storage system
  •  Relocation of an existing RO pilot system and termination of associated piping, conduit and wire
  • Potholing of existing utilities and verification of the availability of existing spare electrical conduits
  • Construction of a steel framed canopy and roof, including a reinforced concrete slab and containment wall coated with a corrosion resistant coating
  • New double containment piping, ch emical pipe trench, and valves including a new calcium chloride fill station and a connection to the calcium chloride metering system
  • Installation of a new 5,000 gallon high density polyethylene calcium chloride storage tank
  • New electrical conduit, conductors, and instrumentation
  • An integration with the existing SCADA system
