Nova has many years of experience providing engineering design for sanitary sewage collection systems and pumping stations. Throughout our over 20 years of experience, Nova has developed a comprehensive planning approach for designing new stations or facilitation in repairs and modifications of existing systems.
The Broward County Water & Wastewater Services (BCWWS) Septic Tank Elimination Program (STEP) aims to eliminate approximately 3,200 septic tanks by 2020. Nova is providing hydraulic analysis, engineering design, permitting and construction services for over 9,500 feet of gravity sewers and force mains, and associated pump stations for the purpose of septic tank elimination in residential neighborhoods throughout Broward County.
This project consists of the rehabilitation of Master Pump Stations 224 and 226. Repairs involved well rehabilitation, replacement of piping, pumps, panels, electrical valves, and hatches. Nova was responsible for all phases of the planning, design and construction for these two large master pump station projects, including flow analysis and determination of peak flows considering I/I and RDII, engineering reports and BODR including equipment selection, process mechanical design, structural rehabilitation, MOT, and permitting with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Broward County Environmental Protection Department.
The general project objective is to capture and convey controlled overflows to the Bronx River at CSO Outfall HP-007 and CSO Outfall HP-009, to either the Hunts Point WRRF for treatment via a siphon in Soundview Park or to the larger receiving water of the East River where a new regulator and floatables control facility is proposed near existing R-5 that overflows at CSO Outfall HP-011. The Bronx River CSO Project consists of three project areas in the vicinity of HP-007, HP-009, and HP-011 that are hydraulically interrelated from the furthest upstream point tributary to the Bronx River to the downstream termination at the East River.
Nova was tasked with assisting the design team with the Facility Plan and Basis of Design Report as well as during the design phase. In addition, Nova is responsible for construction cost estimating and construction scheduling.
Nova is prime consultant providing owner representation services, construction inspection/management, project controls, claim avoidance, design, and design management, permitting, value analysis and life-cycle costing for PortMiami during its expansive development program.
Nova is providing support in overseeing the construction of approximately $2.8 billion worth of new infrastructure and facilities that are projected to be completed over the next 5 years, that coincides with the expected new cruise services, and cargo yard efficiencies and improvements. These projects include, but are not limited to, 5 new cruise berths and associated terminals, new cruise berthing facilities, upgrades and expansions of existing cruise terminals, and other significant investments in cargo terminal yards, gantry cranes, gate complexes, Ropax facilities, roadways, rail systems and supporting infrastructure.
