State -of-the-art wastewater treatment facility
Minimize odors and facility interruptions for park visitors
Allowed for future expansions and improvements
The Details
Located in the Town of Hamlin, New York, working for the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historical Preservation, The Wesson Group constructed a new parkwide sanitary sewer system to replace the existing septic systems for each of the 30 Hamlin Beach State Park buildings. This project allows the Hamlin Beach State Park to collect, treat, and discharge its own wastewater on-site.
Scope of Work
12,000 LF of new gravity sewer
10,000 LF of new force main sewer
11 new pump stations
Construction of a new wastewater treatment plant, including:
6,500-square-foot treatment plant building with radiant floor heating
25,000-gallon equalization tank
5,000 GPD MBR package treatment plant
Various other park roadway and facility upgrades
The Challenge
This project was built to plan with numerous significant components requiring additional engineering effort to construct a functional system. Our professional engineering team worked hand in hand with the designer of record to finalize a functional treatment plant design that met code requirements as well as addressed the very challenging seasonal wastewater flows at this campground and park facility. Construction challenges included constructing new wastewater collection and pumping facilities in areas of active use with the general public.
The Result
The end result of this project was a value-based solution that addressed one of the toughest wastewater treatment challenges there is — seasonal wastewater flows. The Wesson Group's technical expertise really shined through and the owner benefitted through project cost savings and a system with minimal future operational effort and costs.
