The Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN) is undertaking the transfer of various pump station and equalization facilities under its Regionalization effort. These pump stations and equalization tanks have undergone a facility assessment to identify operational status, condition, safety concerns and capital improvement needs. Three pumping facilities were identified for rehabilitation and include Brush Run Pump Station in Upper Saint Clair, Herbst Hollow Pump Station in Kennedy Township, and Oakdale Pump Station in Oakdale, PA. As a subconsultant to Gannett Fleming, Sci-Tek provided the following services:

  • SURVEYING
    • Performed topographic & existing conditions surveys for the pump stations.
    • Performed boundary retracement survey on the Oakdale Pump Station site.
    • Provided 3D laser scanning of the interiors of Brush Run and Herbst Hollow Pump Stations.
