Water Supply and Arsenic Compliance Improvements

The City's drinking water supply from its groundwater wells has been declining at nearly 3 to 4 percent annually for the past 50 years. As such, they are facing potential drinking water shortages by the year 2010 at their current population growth rate. Additionally, nearly 50 percent of their groundwater supply does not meet the new drinking water standard for arsenic of 10 ug/L. This project investigated potential improvements to the City's drinking water system to meet both the supply and arsenic compliance needs. Alternatives considered in the Preliminary Engineering Report included surface water treatment, groundwater treatment, a secondary pressure irrigation system, new groundwater wells, blending for arsenic compliance, aquifer storage and recovery (ASR), and large-scale storage during non-peak demand periods.

Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) - Richland, WA

This project involved the installation of an Automated Weather Observing System and was designed to accommodate the needs of MedStar, an air ambulance service operating out of the Richland Airport. 

Keene Road Extension & Realignment Projects

J-U-B provided preliminary engineering for three separate projects involving the Keene Road extension. Phase 1 was the realignment and extension of the existing Keene Road in the vicinity of Keene Village to Bombing Range Road along the abandoned Union Pacific Railroad corridor. This phase provided a roundabout at the intersection of the new Keene Road and Bombing Range Road and a new intersection for Keene Road and Kennedy Road. The new Keene Road provides four lanes with channelization at the intersections and a modern roundabout for Keene/Bombing Range Road intersection.

This project included:  

• Right-of-way acquisition
• Modern roundabout
• Public involvement including open house public meetings
• Independent value engineering study
• Environmental process including noise study, Biological Assessment and Section 106
• Funding from TIB, Federal funds and Public Works Trust Fund loan 
  

Enaville Well Upgrades

This project included pumping upgrades to a 6-foot diameter shallow groundwater well.  Originally constructed in 1957, this well posed a unique challenge as the ground surface around the well is nearly 11 feet below the 100-year floodplain and is inundated for several days each year.  The project included design and construction management for upgrading the District’s sole-source groundwater well to increase capacity from 2000 gpm to over 4500 gpm. The project included replacing one of the two existing 200 Hp submersible pumps with a new 250 hp submersible and adding a third 250 hp submersible to the 6-foot diameter well; all while maintaining uninterrupted service to the system. 

Hooper Sanitary Sewer Vacuum Collection System - Hooper , UT

This project involved the construction of over 28 miles of sanitary sewer collection lines, 3 pump stations and over 5 miles of force main.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion - Kennewick WA

The City of Kennewick had experienced rapid growth in recent years, increasing demands on their sewage treatment facilities. J-U-B provided planning, design and construction administration services to expand the City’s existing treatment plant. This $10.5 million project included four pump stations, screening, primary treatment, and clarification for an average design flow of 12.2 million GPD.

Kaysville Heritage Park

This project is the culmination of a great cooperative effort by City Officials, citizen input groups, and J-U-B designers to develop a community park that truly represents the heritage of Kaysville.  Specific features in the park amenities have some direct tie to the historical setting, old structures, and long standing industries that were Kaysville’s trademark during its early development.  The 5 acre park includes such things as:

CWA #2 Drainage Canal Pump Station Design

The purpose of this project was to construct a new pump station on CWA #2 Drainageway at the Surplus Canal just upstream of the siphon crossing near 900 South.  The new pump station was designed with screw pumps capable of pumping up to 250 cfs out of CWA #2 and directly into the adjacent Surplus Canal.  Approximately 165 cfs is contributed by the CWA drainage area, and 85 cfs is contributed by a future Lee Drain connection.
The current Storm Drain Master Plan identifies deficiencies in the CWA #2 Drainageway that periodically cause flooding upstream.  The major cause of deficiency was identified as the siphon in CWA #2, which crosses under the Surplus Canal in the vicinity of 900 South, west of I-215.  The siphon has a rated capacity of 40 cfs, while hydrologic analysis showed a potential 100-year storm flow of 244 cfs.

This project included:  

• Survey
• Hydraulic Analysis
• Screw Pump Selection
• Pump Station Design
• Construction Services 

Springville Plaza Commercial Development

This project represents the commercial portion of a large development project located in southwest Springville.  J-U-B designed the infrastructure, both on and off site, to support the commercial development.  Detailed site plans for many of the individual pad usages were also created by J-U-B.

Lindon Heritage Trail - East Phase

Lindon City sees itself as "a little bit of country" in an urbanized area.  As part of their trails master plan they want to include facilities that will accommodate pedestrians, non-motorized transportation and equestrian enthusiasts. 
The Lindon Heritage Trail is the east-west backbone of the City's trail system and is planned to connect the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in the foothills of the City to the Jordan River Parkway adjacent to Utah Lake. 

Lindon City hired J-U-B to prepare the environmental document and perform the pre-construction and construction engineering for the project.  J-U-B worked with the City to analyze the alignment in the City Master Plan and held discussions and meetings with the residents to determine the feasibility of the trail alignment.  The project resulted in a successful east-west trail system through the City. 

• The grade-separated crossing under State Street at the City Park was a significant improvement. Conceived over a decade ago by the City Council and Mayor, the crossing provides a safe place to cross State Street and access the City Park. The trail provides a safe place for students to walk or ride their bike as they make their way to at least three nearby schools.  
• J-U-B identified a feasible, alternative alignment that differed from the original alignment in the City Master Plan. The alternative alignment qualified the project for additional money from the State for school routes.
