Industrial Waste System Phase 2
Client: San Francisco International Airport
​
Contractor: Fontenoy Engineering
​
Project Value: $5.7M
​
Project Overview:
This project involved the installation of 8,000 linear feet of Fusible PVC Industrial Waste Force Main, upsizing the original piping from 8 inches to 14 inches.
It was designed to transport industrial waste collected from six pump stations across the airport to the Mel Leong Treatment Plant.
The majority of the force main was constructed using horizontal directional drilling, with open trench connections at each pump station.
Strategic Approach:
​
Industrial Waste Force Main Installation:
-
Installed 8,000LF of Fusible PVC piping and coordinated with airport operations to minimize taxi/runway disruption
​
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD):
-
Used HDD to minimize surface disruptions and navigate existing underground utilities.
​
Pump Station Connections:
-
Established open trench connections at six pump stations to ensure reliable system performance.
