Protected local property value via odor reduction
Prevented treatment plant operation disruption
Ensured reliable operations for critical airline hub during winter months
The Details
The Wesson Group collaborated with Arcadis Engineers of New York to demolish the storage lagoons and construct two 3-million-gallon deicing storage tanks. This project also required improvements to supporting infrastructure including pumping stations, new access roads, utilities, and other structures.
Scope of Work
Demolition of existing storage lagoons and earthwork for the new tank footprint
Construction of two 3,000,000-gallon deicing storage tanks
New chemical feed building
Modifications/upgrades to the existing pump stations and utilities
New utilities and structures
Site work for new access roads and yard areas
The Challenge
This was a bid-to-plan project with the storage tank foundation design component being a design-build component. The Wesson Group retained a reputable designer/installer for rigid inclusion piles and completed the design and installation with tremendous value added to the project. This facility was critical to operations at the Syracuse Airport and had to be kept operational during the construction of the new components. Collaboration with the owner for scheduling critical work components was key to the success of the project.
The Result
This project was won with an innovative approach to the tank foundations. Traditional methods were much more costly and time-consuming. By presenting value-engineering opportunities through bidding conception and throughout the entire project, The Wesson Group exemplified their passion for exploring and implementing innovation and new technology for the benefit of the owner and project.
