Serving New Jersey and Surrounding Areas
BS&J continued hydraulic modeling for four dams using a HEC-RAS unsteady 2D hydraulic model to update inundation limits for Emergency Action Plans (EAPs).
On-site emergency assistance was requested during construction of temporary facilities to support hydrant flushing and emergency distribution system maintenance. Review of system operation, pressure regulating valve replacement, surge relief, and creation of hydraulic profile was performed.
BS&J conducted the regular dam inspections at four dams together with SWNY. Reports were written for each dam listing existing conditions, observations, and recommendations.
Construction was completed on an updated water treatment process for two wells including a new building, treatment vessels, and 16-inch diameter ductile iron pipe for chlorine contact time. BS&J completed the design and provided engineering services during construction, testing, start-up, and completion certification to the local Department of Health.

A 24 inch diameter cast-iron water main crossing beneath the CSX railroad tracks in Dumont, NJ was found to be leaking and required repair. BS&J was retained to provide design services, permit acquisition, and construction inspection services. An innovative design re-purposing the 24 inch cast-iron main as a casing pipe, and slip-lining with a new… Continue Reading
Construction began on a new 10 million gallon per day (mgd) firm capacity pump station to serve the existing Northeast Tank in Bergen County, NJ. Provisions for future chemical feed systems include sodium hypochlorite, ammonia, and SeaQuest. BS&J completed the design and is now providing engineering services during construction. Construction is expected to be completed… Continue Reading
The temporary pumping system to take Spring Valley Standpipe offline for painting was successfully designed, constructed, and implemented. The large pressure district, multiple supply inputs, and complicated hydraulics resulted in distribution system upgrades at multiple locations to reinforce emergency supply capabilities during the temporary pumping operation. Upgrades at key facilities have improved operational reliability.
