Municipal

Cardinal Engineers is well versed in all phases of surface water treatment. Recently we were the lead engineers for a small but interesting project for a local utility. One of the primary goals of the project was the reduction of odor and noise since the plant is located adjacent to a golf course and near residential areas. The project included renegotiating the ND permit with the state, where we were successful in getting the remaining capacity of the plant increased significantly, and had the effluent limits relaxed.

The subsequent phases of the project included a complete redesign and rebuild of the plant, converting it from a contact stabilization plant to an activated sludge plant, and increasing the capacity by 20%. The project also included rebuilding of five lift stations, converting them from self priming to submersible pumps and upgrading the control mechanisms, and significant reconstruction of the gravity system to reduce the I & I problems the site was experiencing.

The plant has been placed in operation and is far exceeding expectations.
