City of Whiting Equalization Basin Evaluation

LFA performed a comprehensive evaluation of the Whiting Equalization Basin that was originally constructed in the early 1970’s. The Basin is a key component of the City’s combined sewer collection system and helps protect the City from major sewer backups and flooding events. The Basin evaluation included estimating future flows and loads, processes and equipment, , electrical systems, instrumentation and controls, operations, and maintenance. Recommendations included improvements to the electrical feed and emergency generator systems, process equipment improvements, building improvements, instrumentation/controls improvements, and basin piping modifications. Estimates were generated for both initial capital and annual operation and maintenance costs.
