East WWTP Capacity Expansion Improvements Clark Dietz, Inc. Project Location: Evansville, Indiana Project Start Date: 30 December 2019 Project Completion: 20 November 2023 Project Team: Andrea Brelt, PE - Project Manager; Jim Edenburn - Con- struction Manager; David Wichman, PE - Project Engineer Project Summary: Clark Dietz, inc. was chosen by the Evansville Wa- ter and Sewer Utility to design and manage the expansion of the East Wastewater Treatment Plant with the goal of increasing the plant’s capac- ity from 22.5 million gallons per day to 40 MGD. The project included several upgrades to the plant including a UV disinfection system, sludge degritting system, and a biological aeration filter (BAF). The BAF was a major component of the expansion, providing a sustainable and cost-ef- fective solution for increasing wastewater treatment capacity. Impact: The BAF building was designed and built in conjunction with the new administrative staff for the plant’s personnel, providing an economic solution that kept staff closely connected to the process treatment. This building will also be used as an education space for school and communi- ty tours, and the space features a viewing window between the office and process spaces that enables educational programming without interfering with plant operations. In a further connection to the community it serves, the newly expanded facility’s concrete structure is built with form liners that impress the image of the Evansville community and the Ohio River.
