Representative Projects

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, McMillan North Clearwell Improvements
Washington, DC

Built in 1904, the McMillan North Clearwell is an approximate 612 x 162 feet, 25-foot-deep underground structure; the roof, walls, and floors were constructed using un-reinforced concrete, resulting in numerous cracks of the roof structure. Additionally, The North Clearwell is fed by a 72-inch water main and to facilitate operation of the reservoir within the distribution system a 96 x 96-inch sluice gate was installed at the inlet, which is now leaking.

Nova is providing professional services to USACE, Baltimore Washington Aqueduct Division supporting structural, mechanical, and civil rehabilitations and improvements to this facility. The project is to deliver a structurally improved reservoir, improved water quality, and a reliable operational facility. Scope of services include field investigations, project definition report, design of repairs for deficient structural elements (i.e., roof, floor, columns); design of sluice gate repairs; water quality modeling; support during the construction phase; and the preparation of an Operation & Maintenance Manual.
