City of Blairsville, Union County, Georgia
2006 – Water and Wastewater System Expansion to serve Wal-Mart. The project included Construction of approximately 2,000 linear feet of 8” gravity sewer, 1,600 linear feet of 6” forcemain, 3,200 linear feet of 12” water main, one duplex submersible pump station, generator, and two 280 linear foot cased road bores across a four lane highway. EMI provided all preliminary engineering, design and construction phase services.
2009 – Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project funded by ARRA Stimulus funds. The City of Blairsville had struggled with tremendous inflow and infiltration that plagued their wastewater system for many years. When the ARRA stimulus funds became available, EMI sprang into action to get plans and specifications shovel ready and to assist Blairsville with funding applications. This project consisted of approximately 14,000 linear feet of cured in place pipe rehabilitation and replacement of existing gravity sewer lines, rehabilitation of approximately 50 existing manholes and upgrade and replacement of an existing wastewater pump station. EMI provided all preliminary engineering, design and construction phase services.
2010 – WWTF Expansion to 1.0 MGD. The City’s existing 0.40 MGD wastewater treatment facility was dilapidated and under designed. This project included a new headworks and influent pump station, replaced the two existing 36 foot Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) tanks with two new 76 foot diameter tanks, a new chlorine disinfection system, and a new sludge dewatering screw press. Services provided included all EPD approvals; Watershed assessment; Design Development Report (DDR); Environmental Report (ER); Public meetings; project funding; engineering design; construction management and observation; Operations and Maintenance (O&M) manual and operator training.
2011 – Water Distribution and Wastewater Collection System Rehabilitation. The Jones Street area of the City of Blairsville had suffered with low water system pressure, no fire protection and dilapidated gravity sewer lines that frequently clogged. The project included replacement of the existing 4” water lines with new 8” mains and fire hydrants. Approximately 3,000 feet of 4” and 6” gravity sewer lines were replaced with new 8” lines and manholes; 3,700 feet of existing gravity sewer lines were rehabilitated with cured-in-place liner and approximately 16 existing manholes were rehabilitated. The project was funded with a $500,000 CDBG grant and local funds. EMI provided funding assistance, preliminary engineering, design engineering and construction phase management and observation.
