Chester addressed wet weather and combined sewer overflow (CSO) issues for the Main Rivers Basin, the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority’s (ALCOSAN) largest planning basin accounting for over 100 CSO outfalls. This $6.5 million planning project explored “green” and “gray” infrastructure alternatives that will assist ALCOSAN in meeting their Consent Decree requirements.

Working within a two month time frame, Chester Engineers investigated, designed and implemented a project to refurbish ~10,000 feet of 60-inch diameter riveted steel water line that was originally installed around 1905. Based upon Chester’s fast-tracked design, PWSA received a $3.0 million loan and construction work was completed in less than 16 months and within budget.

Recognized by The American Public Works as a winner of their 2014 Public Works Project of the Year, Chester’s Alewife Stormwater Wetland project combined creativity, rigor, and collaboration to yield an innovative and sustainable approach to stormwater management. The constructed wetland saved the City more than $15 million dollars and won praise from stakeholder groups for incorporating both conventional and bioengineered structures, producing a natural look and feel.

St. Kitts Water Services Department

St. Kitts Water Services Department
Overcoming the constraints of limited/outdated system information and operating within strict budgetary and scheduling goals, Chester Engineers established a multi-functional GIS database that characterized and mapped water system features for the St. Kitts Water Services Department (WSD). Most importantly, Chester trained WSD staff in the technology and skills necessary for continued GIS administration.

Water Distribution System Master Plan

The City of Columbus contracted with Chester Engineers to complete a comprehensive evaluation of the City's water distribution system to assess future demands, identify facility upgrades and optimize the system for energy and operations and management savings. Chester’s expert modelers located the areas of the City most affected by the anticipated demand increases or decreases over the 10-yr., 15-yr., and 20-yr. planning periods.

Western Pennsylvania Specialty Can Manufacturer

Western Pennsylvania Specialty Can Manufacturer
Through onsite investigations and treatability studies, Chester’s technical team was able to develop a wastewater treatment system that allowed a specialty can manufacturer to exceed EPA wastewater requirements and realize operating cost savings. The wastewater treatment plant, delivered on a design/build basis, was also designed to allow for complete recycle of the wastewater in the future, as water rates increase.
