Sims-Durkin & Assoc.
performed electrical design and construction administration
for the constructed wetlands combined sewer overflow (CSO)
project for the town of Washington, Indiana.
Under normal weather circumstances, storm water run-off is
directed to the 4 million gallon storage tank at the waste
water treatment plant. In the event of a "10 year" storm
event, excess overflow is directed to a 27 acre constructed
wetland, for storage and treatment.
Electrical design work by Sims-Durkin & Assoc. included power distribution
for pumps and motors, and low voltage control work including
a full supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA).
This SCADA system allows the town of Washington to control
the level of water in the wetlands, along with the duration
of water storage.
Washington, IN currently has
the largest constructed wetlands for CSO treatment in the
United States, and was heralded as a success both
financially and environmentally.
Sims-Durkin & Assoc. client for this project was
Bernardin-Lochmueller & Associates.
