The Chemung County Sewer District has selected Arcadis to consolidate its two wastewater treatment plants in an effort to modernize its infrastructure and save costs. Arcadis will provide design and construction services to upgrade the Milton Street Wastewater Treatment Plant and decommission the Lake Street Wastewater Treatment Plant. Modernizing wastewater infrastructure and upgrading treatment processes can be costly. In consolidating the plants, CCSD is eliminating the need to renovate both plants, instead investing in more cost, energy and operationally efficient processes at Milton Street. The upgraded plant will have a permitted capacity of 28.2 million gallons per day and is expected to be complete by 2026. Designing consolidated plants typically takes three years. Arcadis will fast-track the project to deliver designs within a year, helping reduce CCSD's capital costs by up to $15 million. The renovated Milton Street plant will also protect water quality in the Chesapeake Bay and locally by meeting more stringent regulatory requirements and abating sanitary sewer overflows at the Lake Street plant. To meet the county's deadline, Arcadis will use an entirely virtual approach. Building Information Modeling (BIM) process experts and engineers around the world will work to develop 3D models. Those digital models will then guide the decision-making process for final delivery. Arcadis has successfully delivered wastewater treatment projects in upstate New York for nearly 60 years, including its recent efforts to help track COVID-19 in wastewater collection systems.
