BS&J conducted a regular inspection for Lake Lookover Dam in 2013.
BS&J assisted with the evaluation of two pumping facilities with 25 million gallons per day (MGD) and 60 MGD capabilities. The operation of both facilities were evaluated to improve operational and energy efficiency. Recommendations include improved pump on/off timings to minimize peak demand surcharges and station modifications to minimize or eliminate throttling.
Two new dry calcium hypochlorite feeders were installed at a UWNR pumping station replacing the existing chlorine disinfection system. BS&J provided design and construction services, maintaining the pumping station operation at all times.
Working together with NJAW and Gannett Fleming, BS&J is providing design services for several improvements at the Raritan Millstone Water Treatment Plant. These projects will be constructed in 2014 and 2015.
