Description: This project will replace 5,700 feet of 24 and 30-inch ductile iron pipe along Kempsville Road between Hunningdon Lakes Boulevard and Walton Road. The interceptor force main (IFM) along Kempsville Road has experienced multiple failures due to internal and external corrosion. This 33,000-ft long IFM was installed between 1972 and 1999 and consists of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) and ductile iron pipe (DIP). Recent failures near Hunningdon Lakes Boulevard have been reconnected to ductile iron pipe exhibiting significant internal corrosion, which is the primary reason this section of the IFM is being prioritized for replacement. Approximately 1,700 feet of this alignment was replaced in 1997 with a VDOT Project and is not included in the replacement work.

Description: This project will involve replacement of 16 aeration tank slide gates and 18 primary clarifier slide gates with new motorized stainless steel slide gates. The gates are over 34 years old and at the end of their design life. The fiberglass wrap and gate core has been found to be damaged or showing signs of damage at many locations, and they are becoming difficult to operate. Motorizing the gates will allow for more efficient operation and the ability to exercise the gates more frequently, as well as, provide flexibility for control of aerobic volume.

Description: This project will add additional digestion capacity to Nansemond Treatment Plant (NTP), likely in the form of a third 1MG (nominal) anaerobic digester tank, to meet solids loading requirements following the completion of Boat Harbor Treatment Plant closure, NTP SWIFT and anticipated future (37 MGD) flow conditions. Alternatives to achieve the needed increase in digester capacity will be considered during pre-planning. Siting of new facilities and process integration with the existing digestion, biogas, and dewatering systems will be a critical aspect of this project.
