Landscape Master Plan SUNY New Paltz

Selection of an institution for higher learning is often strongly based upon its appearance. To that end, the State University of New York at New Paltz retained CHA to provide engineering services for four major projects within the campus. The projects represented a wide range of campus systems including planting, walks, streets, parking, and lighting in context with the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission to create a more sustainable, pedestrian friendly campus. Projects have included: Hasbrouck Quad: A series of heavy concrete walls and steps were removed and replaced with gradually sloped paths to change grades. Combined with new lighting, hardscape, landscaping and pedestrian amenities, the quad is a greener, more cohesive open space. Concourse: The Concourse, a key circulation and social space, is one of the most important and successful places on campus. It links the dormitories to the Humanities Building and the Lecture Center. The monolithic concrete slab was replaced with a variety of hardscape treatments. Combined with new lighting and landscaping, the Concourse is clearly the functional heart of the campus. Mohonk Walk: Mohonk Walk needed significant improvements to strengthen and beautify it as a critical pedestrian circulation route. Hardscape, landscape, lighting and pedestrian amenities helped better define the space and improve linkages to the quads and open spaces. Route 32 Parking Lot: With parking lots being removed from the campus core, new parking was needed. A new lot was constructed adjacent to the northern edge of the existing Route 32 Parking Lot on land owned by the campus.

The project included providing engineering support for design concepts and final design phase services related to civil/site, structural, electrical, mechanical, and expanded low temperature chilled water and boiler plant. A conceptual design for on-site cogeneration with a 100% emergency power backup system to serve the new facility was developed as well as a conceptual description of a wastewater treatment facility including a process flow diagram and concept layout. CHA also completed a design for the renovation of an existing GMP, Class 10,000 clean room production area, allowing our client to conduct contract manufacturing for a major pharmaceuticals manufacturer. The renovated areas, totaling approximately 5,000 SF, were modified to meet the contract manufacturer’s production specifications. While the majority of the space remained Class 10,000, several rooms had strict cleanliness specifications and designs were prepared to meet Class 1,000 and Class 100. In addition, some clean room spaces were upgraded to Biological Safety Level 2 (BL2) criteria. The facility portion of this phase of the project was completed on-time and within budget. Preparation of equipment fit-up connection drawings for installation of the process equipment was also performed. Existing laboratories and office space were demolished to construct the 5,000 SF GMP production area to Class 100,000 clean room criteria. The renovations included the design of hard, non-shedding walls and ceilings, epoxy floor coating, tight temperature (68ºF, +2ºF) and humidity (45%RG, +5%) control, and conditioned air supplied to the clean room spaces from terminal HEPA filters having 99.99% efficiency for room pressurization. CHA provided on-site support staff to prepare fast track facility designs in conjunction with the construction manager. The mechanical systems design included non-process utility services such as non-potable water, plant steam and condensate, and compressed air as well as fire protection, and process glycol which supplies 500 gpm + 2º C chilled water to process vessels. Critical to the project was the need to have the relocated facility operational to meet production demands. This phase was completed on-time and under the project budget. # 37

Redundant District Hot Water System University of Rochester

The University of Rochester operates a District Hot Water (DHW) System which generates heated water at the University Central Plant and distributes it throughout the University River Campus and Medical Center. The DHW system consists of insulated supply and return pipelines. The system piping is designed in accordance with EN253 a European standard applicable to pre-insulated bonded pipe for hot water district heating. Previous University projects have utilized EN253 materials manufactured by Logstor. The piping is installed underground and extends from the Central Plant to building mechanical spaces in a “branched” distribution arrangement. The system was originally installed in 2005. Within each building mechanical room the DHW passes thru a heat exchanger where the “primary” district heating energy is transferred to the buildings “secondary” side. The DHW secondary system converts the DHW energy produced at the central utilities plant into building heating and domestic heated water for consumption. Typical system supply temperature from the Central Plant is 200-225 degrees F (winter) and 130 psig supply pressure. The University retained CHA to provide design and construction support for the expansion of the existing DHW System. The project provides a redundant DHW supply to the Medical Center and River Campus. The project was arranged into design, bidding, and construction phases. Included was hydraulic modelling, prepurchase of pre-insulated pipe materials, crossing of a state highway, and development of the project SWPPP. As part of this effort, an overall campus hydraulic model was prepared to simulate system pressure drop, velocities, and available building differential pressures. # 39

Lead in Drinking Water Investigation

Bergen County Technical and Special Services School Districts CHA assisted the Bergen County Technical and Special Services School Districts in determining if facilities within their school districts contained lead levels in drinking water that exceeded USEPA and NJDEP allowable levels. We developed a strategy that would be compliant with USEPA protocols, provide a reliable assessment to determine lead levels present in the buildings, recommend appropriate remediation measures, and reach a resolution at a minimum cost to the districts. To accomplish these goals, CHA crafted a sampling plan consisting of three rounds of sampling priority drinking water end use points at 22 buildings within the two# districts. The first round collected and analyzed water samples from a small subset of end use points and an intake sample at all buildings. The second round involved a detailed sampling program at buildings exhibiting elevated lead levels, record drawing for each building, and a review of other historic information. The third step sampled end use points where a remedial action had been taken to ascertain that the action reduced the lead content.

Green Infrastructure and Real Time Controls Albany Water Board

The Albany Water Board is working to reduce combined sewer discharges to the Hudson River. The Beaver Creek sewershed currently discharges approximately 532 million gallons of combined sewer overflows (CSO’s) on an annual basis. Phase 1 of the project consisted of standard GI practices along Quail Street to maximize the benefits within an urban, CSO environment in northeast, cold-weather climates. While the proposed system has been designed to reduce stormwater runoff along Quail Street, during periods of heavy precipitation, separated stormwater flows collected and treated along Quail Street are conveyed downstream where they re-enter the CSS. Under phase 2 of the project, a dedicated storm sewer line is being constructed along to provide conveyance of runoff to the Washington Park Lake. The lake currently has more than 6 million gallons of storage available to provide for storm surge protection for the downstream CSS. Conveyance of flows to the lake will provide for the “free drainage” of the lowlying areas and serve to re-establish natural floodplain storage which previously existed along Beaver Creek. The project is incorporating continuous monitoring and adaptive controls (CMAC, or enhanced real time controls) to optimize the performance of the City’s existing infrastructure and planned capital investments. Specifically, the CMAC platform will inform the City in regards to pre-event planning activities as well as monitoring and management of flows during critical wet weather periods for Washington Park Lake. The adaptive controls will be implemented and managed using the OptiNimbus® software product to continuously monitor and actively control a valve at the lake outfall, managing the release rates and timing of flows. #

OptiNimbus® is an enterprise cloud-based service that will work in conjunction with data from connected on-site sensors, weather forecasts, and site specific parameters to make intelligent and predictive control decisions in regards to discharges from the lake. More specifically, OptiNimbus® will base the automated control decisions of water storage on the current (or utilized) storage in comparison the total available storage volume, quantitative precipitation forecast and probability of precipitation, site specific characteristics and site operating goals or targets (e.g., retention time, allowable release rates, etc.). Pre-event metrics and predictions will be used to make decisions regarding the lake levels, including potentially lowering the lake below normal levels to provide additional storage capacity, if necessary. Wet-weather metrics at the lake will be used in conjunction with weather pattern predictions and other system monitoring data (including information at the CSO) to determine the optimal release rate for flows from the lake. CHA assisted the City with the preparation of a grant application under the CFA program which secured $1M of grant funding through the DEC WQIP for the proposed improvements and implementation of the real time controls. 70

Upper Washington Pump Station Albany Water Board

The Upper Washington Pump Station was designed to accommodate wet- weather flows of up to 5.0 MGD. Based upon the projected wet weather flow rate, the pump station must efficiently pump a broad range of flows when dry weather conditions are factored into the design. To accommodate the desired flow range, a multiple pump operation was required. Assuming a firm pump station capacity at the design flow rate with the largest pump out of service, a three-pump configuration was selected to optimize pumping operation and efficiency. Operational flexibility was further achieved by using variable speed drives on all three pumps, coupled with an appropriately-sized wet well that would allow for constant speed operation of the pumps in the unlikely event that the control system is down. The design of the station provides adequate equipment redundancy and reliability to provide continuous pumping capability. The firm pumping capacity of the station includes the provision of a standby pump for operation at a design capacity of 5 MGD. Reliability is further enhanced by providing variable speed-drive equipment with across the line starting capability in case of VFD failure. A secondary float-operated control system was incorporated into the pump control system to accommodate continuous operation if the PLC based control is out of service for any reason. The pump station was designed with a focus on resiliency including redundant mechanical and electrical systems with different failure modes, flood protection, simple and practical designs, and hardened elements. The following major resiliency features were incorporated in the design: •• •• •• •• •• •• •• ••

Hardened structure Pump and appurtenances Variable speed pumping Pump sizing Drivers Pump check and control valves Instrumentation and control Harmonics

The design of the electrical service is critical to ensuring system reliability. An emergency generator system was designed to provide electrical service reliability in case of a grid power outage. The generator was designed with the capacity to accommodate across the line starting and operation of the two pumps required to pump the design flow rate from the system. Final equipment selection will include evaluation of a dual fuel-fired unit to protect against primary fuel (natural gas) source unpredictability. # 71

Terre Haute Main Lift Station Terre Haute Sanitary District, IN

As part of the City of Terre Haute’s Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) the existing main lift station must be replaced. The reason for this replacement is three-fold: •• The existing station was constructed in 1961’s and has reached the end of its useful life; •• The existing station is not deep enough to accommodate the future parallel interceptor that will be installed to eliminate five existing combined sewage overflow (CSO) outfalls; •• Capacity must be increased to provide flow to the recently constructed High Rate Clarification System. The pump station is to be redesigned to increase the flow capacity of the facility to approximately 81 MGD; with the flows being conveyed through a new 6,000 lf force main to the City’s WWTP. CHA is presently working on the final design for the pump station; as well as a new 42-inch diameter force main. Key project considerations include: •• Pump station reliability, which includes the necessity for a multiple pump operation allowing a range flows from normal 11MGD dry-weather flows to the peak 81 MGD wet-weather flows. ▪▪ Eight pumps utilizing a wet-well/dry-well arrangement is employed to convey the wide variety of flow this station will encounter. •• Compatibility/integration with the existing HRC facility. •• Constructability is a key factor given the dewatering and excavation requirements associated with construction of the below-grade wet-well and dry-well structure of the new pump station adjacent to the Wabash River. ▪▪ Overall station depth is approximately thirty-six feet. •• Accommodations for a septage receiving station. •• Reliability and redundancy of electrical service to the proposed station including standby power and proposed equipment including hazard and flood protection measures. •• Integration of the facility’s I&C system into the Sanitary Districts existing SCADA system. •• Provisions for connecting to the new force main to the WWTP. •• Eliminating the existing 84” Turner Street CSO outfall by rerouting it to the Main Lift Station. •• Accommodations for the future 144” parallel CSO interceptor. •• Integration of electrical and ventilation systems design to meet NFPA standards and hazard classifications for pump station dry-well and wet-well areas. •• Odor control # 75

Water Treatment Plant Improvements City of Covington, VA

CHA developed a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for the City of Covington’s Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The focus of the PER was to replace existing equipment that had reached the end of its service life, provide more efficient operations, modernize the WTP, and to implement a plant and system-wide Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The PER priorities were established based upon a matrix system of high, medium, and low priorities. To meet the City’s budget and reduce the impact to the customer, the City elected to implement the high and medium priority improvements. The PER was utilized to secure approval from the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and funding from the Virginia Resources Authority (VRA). Implementing the high and medium priority improvements resulted in an estimated construction cost of $2.2M. A summary of the recommended improvements is as follows: •• Replacement of the existing traveling screen on the Jackson River and replacement of the raw water pumps along with variable speed drives. •• The installation of hoseless sludge withdrawal system in the sedimentation basins to avoid slug loading the wastewater treatment plant. Handrails around the sedimentation basins are also required to comply with OSHA requirements. •• Replacement of the rate of flow controllers on the four filters as well as the replacement of the loss of head indicators. # •• Replacement of the existing finished water pumps along with new variable speed drives.

Harbor Brook Constructed Wetlands Pilot Onondaga County, NY

CHA completed the final design for the Harbor Brook CSO Constructed Wetlands Pilot Project. This pilot project serves the dual purposes of treating overflows from CSO 018, while also acting as a demonstration project to test the effectiveness of three different types of constructed wetland treatment systems. Based on the knowledge gained as a result of this pilot project, these wetland systems may be integrated as part of a larger constructed wetland treatment system along Harbor Brook with additional water quality, natural habitat, recreational, educational, and other community benefits. This constructed wetland pilot project will capture and treat approximately 13.6 million gallons of combined sewage annually, and will substantially improve the quality of discharge to Harbor Brook. The proposed pilot treatment system has been sized to treat the combined sewage flow generated at CSO 018 during the 1 year, 2 hour storm event, which is presently discharged to Harbor Brook without treatment. The system will consist of grit and floatables removal followed by constructed wetlands treatment. Grit and floatables removal is required upstream of the wetlands treatment system to protect the constructed wetland treatment system from an influx of inorganic # materials. Grit removal is required to prevent filling in of the wetland treatment cells with inert solids, thereby reducing the treatment capacity of the constructed wetlands system. Floatables removal is required to prevent clogging of the wetland cell media, prevent danger to wildlife attracted to the facility, and ensure an aesthetically pleasing and attractive area is maintained. The constructed treatment wetlands system will provide reduction of bacteria, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), total suspended solids (TSS), and 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5).

Terminal Planning Study Asheville Regional Airport

CHA performed a Terminal Building Assessment Study at the Asheville Regional Airport for the Greater Asheville Regional Airport Authority. With the continuing high growth in passenger activity levels, the Authority needed to explore ways to expand and improve the terminal building at AVL. In light of the fact that the original building structure is over 50 years old, periodic expansions to the building without any building system upgrades has placed increased stress on a variety of these systems, including water, sewer, electrical, fire protection, mechanical, and roofing systems. The initial task of the Assessment Study was to evaluate in detail the location, condition, and capacity of all of the terminal building systems, to document the deficiencies, and to make recommendations on how to upgrade and improve these systems so that they could effectively handle increased loadings. Included as a part of the Assessment Study, was a forecasting exercise of passenger activity, terminal facility sizing, and conceptual planning task to address what portions of the building needed to be expanded and how to best accommodate these improvements. The forecasting effort had to take into account the increasing activity of service by Allegiant at AVL in addition to the expansion of service by existing carriers and potential new carriers serving AVL. Because of external funding requirements, the Terminal Building Assessment Study was put on a fast- track schedule so that it was substantially complete within 6 months from the Noticeto-Proceed. The Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal with the Study was to have it completed in order to meet a funding timeline to allow it to secure the necessary funds to initiate the implement program for the systems upgrade effort on an immediate basis. # 89

National Grid Electric Distribution CHA has worked on a variety of electric distribution programs and projects for National Grid. Our work has included running the Feeder Hardening program for National Grid in New England. For this program CHA has been responsible for performing feeder inspections, making recommendations to improve system reliability and safety, designing circuit upgrades in National Grid’s GIS design system, completing as-builts after construction, and closing out completed work. CHA has also monitored the scope, schedule, and cost of the program in relation to National Grid’s goals for the fiscal year. Over the program’s six years, 250 feeders and 7,100 miles of overhead distribution were hardened. Other program work that CHA has completed for National Grid has been overloaded transformer replacements and side tap fusing surveys. In 2014 alone CHA has made fusing recommendations on 400 feeders and designed over 600 transformer replacements, with an additional 225 transformers that will be done by the end of the year. CHA has also worked with National Grid on DOT relocation projects in New England. For these projects CHA designed the relocation of National Grid assets to accommodate proposed modifications to state roads and bridges. Throughout the process CHA reviews DOT plans and consults with DOT engineers to ensure our designs meet the needs of the DOT. In addition, CHA has done numerous design projects for National Grid throughout New York and New England. These have included feeder reconductoring, new feeder ties, voltage conversions, and substation get-aways.

Inspection & Maintenance Project

Upon completing the Feeder Hardening program after 5 years, National Grid started an Inspection & Maintenance program (I&M). This program, which is ongoing, was designed to maintain the gains provided by Feeder Hardening and to prevent the system from deteriorating like it had in the past. The plan for the program was to perform I&M work across the entire system in 5 year cycles. CHA was brought on to run that program in much the same way that the Feeder Hardening program operated. Similar to Feeder Hardening, CHA provides more than just design services on the I&M program. CHA performs the role of a program manager. Design services are the most significant part of what CHA does, along with scope, schedule, and budget monitoring and providing construction support. CHA is again using an automated field data collection and design system that has been customized for this program.

Main Campus Transmission Substation Design University of Massachusetts, Amherst

CHA was competitively selected by the University to design a new transmission level substation. Based on previous study work completed by CHA it was determined that the best solution to improve power reliability and resiliency for the campus was to disconnect from the local utility 13.8kV distribution system and connect directly to the nearby 115kV transmission system. The $30 Million project included design and construction of a 100MW twin transformer 115kV-13.8kV substation with two independent power distribution centers feeding the campus through a seven mile combination of new and existing parallel concrete encased duct banks. The design also included four (4), 3 stage, 13.8 kV, 4800 kVAR automatically controlled capacitor banks complete with harmonic filtering. The project was contracted on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast trackâ&#x20AC;? that allowed only eighteen months to design, procure and install, and get online by January 2016. Working closely with the client the project was broken into three phases, procurement of long lead equipment, design and construction of the lengthy duct bank, and design and construction of the substation. The project was completed and energized 12/24/2015. As an added benefit the campus expects to save over $1 million dollars per year in electrical distribution service cost savings.

Statewide Scour Evaluations and Plan of Action Massachusetts Dept. of Transportation

CHA was tasked with assessing the scour vulnerability of over 180 bridges located throughout the state. The evaluations included collection and review of hydraulic, geotechnical and structural data available for each bridge, conducting site visits, and inputting the bridge scour related characteristics in a MassDOT scour database. Hydrologic information was developed and/or reviewed and if required, hydraulic models were completed with the use of digital elevation data supplemented with field surveyed stream cross-section as necessary. CHA utilized the Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS software to develop steady state riverine models, as well as more complex unsteady tidal analyses. The model output was used to calculate scour depths (HEC-18), to evaluate/design recommended countermeasures (HEC-23), and to predict water surface elevations needed to consider closing a bridge during a flood event. All bridges determined to be rated scour critical are required by FHWA guidelines to have a Plan of Action (POA) implemented.

Spaulding Turnpike Upgrades, Exits 11 -16 New Hampshire Dept. of Transportation

CHA was retained to provide the final design for 5.2 miles of the Spaulding Turnpike between Exits 11 and 16 in Rochester, NH. Five interchanges were redesigned which also included the reconstruction of 19 ramps, the replacement or rehabilitation of sixteen existing bridges, redesign and reconstruction of over three miles of local roadways, as well as the design of several intersections including three closed-loop signal coordinated systems. The project further included the creation of a 14-acre wetland mitigation area as a means of mitigating necessary floodplain and wetland impacts. The project was designed to be constructed under six separate construction contracts. The reconstruction essentially doubled the roadway width from a two-lane facility to a four- and six-lane facility which created several design challenges. Developing the proposed horizontal and vertical alignments through the interchange areas demanded careful consideration of the maintenance of traffic in order to maintain full use of the facility and interchanges. This was particularly challenging through superelevated areas due to the significant grade differences across the pavement width that the superelevation introduced. The significant increase in impervious area also created # a challenge for stormwater management and the design of the open and closed drainage systems. In addition to mitigating the post development flows, the design also needed to meet current water quality standards imposed by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. This was accomplished through a series of water quality basins, detention basins and gravel wetlands. The design also included temporary drainage and stormwater management for each construction contract. Construction phasing was evaluated through abutting construction contracts to ensure there were no conflicts which could lead to significant construction delays, traffic delays, or both. This allowed the contractors on abutting contracts to coordinate their efforts which streamlined the overall construction. As a result, the entire project was completed one year ahead of schedule and under budget.
