I HAD ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
UH, THE ONE THAT CAME IN, UH, FROM SEPTEMBER 20TH, UM, AND EVERYBODY'S GOT IT WRITTEN RIGHT THERE.
THE CIM NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE WORKING ON IT.
THE YARD PERIODS WOULD BE MUCH BETTER MAINTAINED.
UH, BUT THE LANDING STILL NEEDS TO BE LEVEL AND WE NEED TO HAVE A MEETING WITH THE OWNER.
UM, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE REST OF IT IN THE BACKYARD, ET CETERA, IS, UH, TAKEN CARE OF, IS THAT FAR AS I UNDERSTAND IT, UM, COUNSEL, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT, UH, UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF ITEMS THERE.
THERE'S STILL SOME THAT, UH, NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.
WE DO HAVE SOME DECISIONS TO BE MADE.
UM, SO WITH THIS, ANY DISCUSSION IN PUBLIC PORTION OF THIS MEETING, ISAIAH WOULD CHEER YOUR SISTER LIKED TO SPEAK.
AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WE'RE GOING TO HAUL THIS LADY OVER HERE.
[00:15:01]
ABOUT WHAT OUR LEGAL OPTIONS ARE, WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT DO.MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT CROSSING ANY LINES OR PUTTING ANY UNDUE PRESSURES WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T BE.
BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS SHOT AT TALKING TO COUNSEL.
UM, DO YOU WANT ANYTHING TO SAY AT THIS TIME OR NO, I'M SORRY.
YOU NEED TO COME STEP UP HERE, STATE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS.
UM, AND YOU CAN PULL YOUR MASS DOWN TO MAKE SURE WE CAN HEAR YOU.
OH YEAH, BUT IT GOT THE HOUSE GOT POWER WASHED YESTERDAY.
UM, THE WHOLE HOUSE, ACTUALLY, HE DID THE WHOLE THING.
THAT'S WHAT MADE ME THINK OF IT.
WHEN YOU HAD SPOKE ON THE CHIMNEY? UH, AS FAR AS THE MATERIALS, I WAS GOING TO SAY PARTS FOR SOME REASON, I'M STILL STUCK AT SCHOOL IN MY HEAD, BUT AS FAR AS THE MATERIALS FOR THE HOUSE, WE HAVE THEM ALL.
IT'S REALLY JUST A MATTER OF PUTTING THEM UP.
AND I'VE ALREADY COORDINATED WITH LIKE FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TO HELP WITH THAT.
BECAUSE SINCE THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, I'M BACK IN SCHOOL NOW.
SO I GO TO COLLEGE AND THEN WHEN I GET OUT OF CLASS AT COLLEGE, I NORMALLY GO TO WORK TO, YOU KNOW, STAY ON TOP OF PAYING THE BILLS AND EVERYTHING FOR THE HOUSE.
SO MY TIME AT THE HOUSE BEFORE I WASN'T WORKING OR IN SCHOOL, SO I WAS THERE TO DO MORE OF IT.
NOW I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH TIME, BUT I DO HAVE FAMILY, MY UNCLE, AND THEN MY NEIGHBORS, AND ALSO, UH, HELP FROM MS. MILLS WITH ANOTHER ASSOCIATE.
I BELIEVE OF HERS THAT HE COMES OUT, BUT ALL THE MATERIALS ARE IN THE BACKYARD, WHICH IS WHY, WHEN YOU HAD SAID THE BACKYARD, UH, HANG ON, I'M HAVING A WHOLE BUNCH.
UM, THAT'S WHERE THEY ARE NOW.
SO AS FAR AS THE FACIAL, NOT THE FACIAL BOARDS, THE TRIM, WE HAVE THE ACTUAL BOARDS LAYING AGAINST THE HOUSE IN THE BACKYARD, THE FACIAL BOARDS THAT WE HAD ON THE SIDE FOR THE BACK PART OF THE HOUSE AND THE CORNER PIECE, WE HAVE THOSE IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE THEY'RE THE NON WEATHER TREATED ONES AND NOT TREATED FOR WEATHER YET.
SO THEY CAN'T GET WET, BUT WE DO HAVE THOSE IN THE GARAGE.
UH, SO THOSE JUST HAVE TO GO UP ALSO, OR IT'S A BOARD BOARD.
AND THEN THE, THAT'S THE OTHER THING, THE, I GUESS THAT'S ALSO CONSIDERED THE FACIA, THE BOTTOM PART WHERE THE TRIM GOES.
WE HAVE THE BOARDS FOR THOSE TOO.
SO IT'S REALLY JUST A MATTER OF PUTTING IT ALL UP.
BUT AS FAR AS ALL THE MATERIALS THAT ARE NEEDED, WE DO HAVE THEM AT THE RESIDENCE AS WE SPEAK.
SO AS A, LET ME SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT.
YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS? IS THAT CORRECT? YES.
COULD, NO, THEY'RE, THEY'RE LITERALLY IN THE GARAGE OR IN THE BACKYARD.
CAUSE MR. BRADBURY FROM MS. MILLS GOT THE, UH, BOARDS THAT GO FOR THE FACIAL PARTS OF DECIDING OF IT.
BUT HE'S BEEN BUSY WITH WORK CAUSE I HAVE LOGS OR COMMUNICATION FROM MY PHONE OF HIM JUST SAYING HE'S JUST BUSY WITH WORK AS TO WHY HE HASN'T BEEN BACK OUT TO PUT IT UP YET.
SO WE HAD THOSE IN THE BACKYARD.
SO THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING WHEN YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT THINGS IN THE BACK OF THERE IN THE GARAGE AND IN THE BACKYARD WHERE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE SORT OF, WHERE ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE HOUSE? YES.
WELL, IF I DON'T HAVE ANYONE TO HELP PUT IT UP, I CAN'T PUT IT UP.
SO THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING HAVING THE MATERIALS IS JUST, AND IS SPRAYED.
WHO DID POWER WASHED YOUR BRIAN HARVEY? YEAH.
HIS DAD REDID ALL THE SIDING ON HIS HOUSE, ALL THE FACIAL BOARDS AND ALL THE TRIM ALL BY HIMSELF.
SO MAYBE HE COULD TAKE A LESSON FROM HIM ON HOW TO DO THAT.
LIKE I SAID, I GO TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY FROM I GOT ALL THAT.
UM, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING IT IN A SECOND.
THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WHERE WE'RE AT.
YOU ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU GOT ALL THE STUFF.
[00:20:01]
WORKING PART-TIME AS WELL WORKING PART-TIME NO, FULL-TIME FULL-TIME FULL-TIME AND GOING TO SCHOOL.HOW DO YOU STAND ON YOUR WATER BILL? I OWE $184 AND I WILL BE PAYING THAT ON FRIDAY WHEN I GET MY PAYCHECK, BECAUSE I PAID A HUNDRED OF IT.
I THINK LESS EMAIL CONFIRMATION LAST MONDAY, LAST MONDAY, LAST MONDAY.
AND THAT CAN BE PAID ON FRIDAY TOO.
AND EITHER WAY I GET PAID THIS FRIDAY, SO I'LL PAY IT ON FRIDAY.
UM, AND THEN, YEAH, I'M GONNA PUT ALSO SOME MORE STUFF UP.
I CAN HAVE THE TRIMMING PART DONE ALSO BY FRIDAY.
CAUSE MY SON'S BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU FOR A DATE THAT YOU AND MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF AND MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE.
BUT THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING US AND WE GOT TO RESPOND AND WE JUST CAN'T GO.
WHENEVER LOUIS FEELS LIKE IT, THAT DOESN'T WORK.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN, WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE A LOUIS? I KNOW, I KNOW LOUIS.
AND HE'S ONE OF THE MOST HELPFUL PEOPLE I'VE EVER KNOWN THAT HE IS.
SO YOU'RE PARTNERED UP WITH SOMEBODY.
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT LEWIS IS A PRETTY BUSY GUY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD A CALENDAR HE KEEPS.
THAT GOES AWRY OR ALL THOSE THINGS.
WE'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH A DATE THAT YOU, YOU GIVE US SO THAT WE CAN TAKE BACK AND TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SO TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 20TH, 21ST, 21ST.
UM, WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GIVE US A DATE THAT YOU COULD LIVE WITH KNOWING YOU GOTTA GET, UM, BRIAN OR LOUIS OR ALL THE ABOVE OR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
AND YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT MOST RELIABLE BECAUSE THEY'VE ALL GOT THEIR LIVES TO LEAD TO.
AND SO WHEN WE BREAK OUT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION, I SAY, WE NEED TO KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU THINK YOU CAN DO BEING PUT ON THE SPOT IS A STRONGHOLD OF MINE, BUT I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO SIT HERE AND WASTE TIME IN LIE.
CAUSE I'M NOT JUST GOING TO LIE TO THE THING.
I REALLY DON'T DID THAT START WITH US AND MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF.
NO, I'M SAYING AS FAR AS GIVING A DATE, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO HAVE OFFERED TO HELP, BUT I CAN'T HONESTLY SIT HERE AND TELL ANYONE IN HERE AND SAY, HEY, WE'LL HAVE IT DONE BY TUESDAY OR FRIDAY.
CAUSE LIKE I SAID, I GO TO SCHOOL, I'M IN SCHOOL FIVE DAYS A WEEK AND I WORK SIX.
SO MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, I'M IN CLASS TILL ABOUT FOUR O'CLOCK AND THEN I GO TO WORK FROM FOUR UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
SO ANY WORK I LITERALLY HAVE TO DO WILL BE IN THE DARK.
AND SO HAVING A SCHEDULE MORE OF LIKE THAT FIVE, SIX DAYS A WEEK, I KNOW THAT MY OWN CONTRIBUTION WILL BECOME LIMITED.
SO I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO STAND HERE AND LIE TO YOU AND SAY, HEY, GIVE US TWO WEEKS TO THREE WEEKS.
I MEAN, I'M, I'M TRYING TO GET IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I KNOW.
AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
SO I KNOW IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF QUICKLY OPPOSED TO TIMELY, BUT TO LITERALLY LOOK YOU IN THE EYE AND SAY, HEY, IF YOU GIVE ME LIKE TWO OR THREE WEEKS, BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
BUT I MEAN, I KNOW I CAN, I GUESS, STEP OUTSIDE WHILE I'LL STEP IN SESSION, I CAN COORDINATE.
I CAN ASK SOME PEOPLE ABOUT HOW SOON MAYBE I CAN GET HELP.
AND IF I CAN GET MORE HELP ON CERTAIN DAYS AND OTHER, I CAN GIVE YOU PROGRESS, BUT I CAN NOT STAND HERE IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW AND GIVE YOU THAT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
WE MAY NOT, BUT WE MAY COME BACK AND GIVE YOU A DATE.
AND IF THAT, IF IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE BY THAT DATE, THE NEXT DAY, YOU'RE SUBJECT TO GETTING A SUMMONS, THE QUARTER TICKET.
AND THEN IF IT'S NOT DONE THE NEXT DAY, YOU'LL STILL BE IN VIOLATION.
YOU'LL BE TECHNICALLY CAPABLE OF GETTING ANOTHER ONE.
WE TYPICALLY DON'T WORK THAT WAY IN MEADOWS PLACE, BUT JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT.
SO IF YOU CAN'T COME UP WITH A DATE, THEN WE WILL PROBABLY COME UP.
UM, THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT, UH, ASKING YOU TO MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF.
IF YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T DO IT IN TWO WEEKS AND DON'T GIVE ME A TWO WEEK DATE AND IF, AND I WOULD SUGGEST, CAUSE WE'RE GETTING READY TO END THIS AND UM, UNLESS YOUR SISTER WANTS TO SPEAK AS WELL.
[00:25:01]
BUT IF NOT, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK.WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
IF YOU CAN STEP OUT IN THE HALL OR STEP OUT IN THIS BACK, OR THERE'S A REAL LINK THIS BACK DOOR OPEN AND THERE'S REAL NEAT TABLE UNDER THE TREES OUT.
THERE YOU GO, SIT DOWN THERE AND CALL FOLKS AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO COORDINATE.
AND TELL THEM WHERE YOU'RE AT.
AND YOU'LL HAVE AN HAVE THAT FOR US WHEN WE COME BACK, THAT'D PROBABLY BE THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT.
I CAN STEP OUT AND MAKE SOME CALLS THAT I'M FINE WITH DOING START WITH THAT.
AND K, SO YOU SEE, YOU KNOW, YOU 191 BUCKS, WE'VE GOT A DATE BY THAT.
YOU'RE GOING TO PAY THAT ON FRIDAY.
I DIDN'T HAVE THAT ON OR HAVE THAT OFF.
UM, SO WITH THAT, UH, UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO DISCUSS THIS, UH, COUNSEL, YOU GOT ANY COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT? OKAY.
UM, THEN WE ARE GOING TO, UH, STEP INTO EXACT MOVE INTO ITEM D EXECUTIVE SESSION.
AND LET'S MOVE BACK TO DO THIS.
I NEED A MOTION TO GO INTO THIS EXERCISE.
I WAS THE WORD I WAS LOOKING FOR RECESSING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UM, AND BY STEP INTO THE CONFERENCE ROOM WHERE WE OLD EXECUTIVE SESSION SOMETIMES, I DON'T KNOW.
WE HAVE COUNSELED HERE'S AGAIN.
WE ARE MOVING ON TO ITEM F TO RECONVENE THE REGULAR AGENDA.
UH, ITEM TWO DISCUSSION AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING THE STRUCTURE LOCATED ONE, 1-810-DORRANCE LANE, A MEADOWS PLACE, TEXAS DEEMED SUBSTANDARD BY COUNSEL BACK IN FEBRUARY.
UH, WE HAVE A COURT DATE SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY AND WE'LL BE MOVING IT FORWARD ON THE LAWSUIT AS DISCUSSED IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UM, ITEM NUMBER THREE, UM, DISCUSSION TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
UH, REGARDING THE STRUCTURE OF 1, 2 0 4 7 START VON STREET, UH, DEEMED SUBSTANDARD BY CITY COUNCIL ON JULY 7TH, UM, COUNCIL, WE HAD QUITE A DISCUSSION.
THANK YOU, LEGAL COUNCIL FOR BEING THERE.
UM, GIVING US THESE NUMBER OF OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE.
AND UH, THANK, UH, RICK, YOU HAVE A MOTION REGARDING THIS.
DO YOU WANT TO, UH, UH, LET ME GET THAT DATE AGAIN.
OCTOBER 20, 26TH, I MOVE THAT WE SET AN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING FOR OCTOBER 26TH, UH, TO DETERMINE IF THE HOUSE HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO CODE AND THE WATER BILLS, UH, CURRENT, UM, THE ITEMS THAT WE WANT TO SEE COMPLETED ARE THE FACIAL BOARDS AND THE SOFFIT BOARDS SO THAT THE HOUSE IS COMPLETELY ENCLOSED AND NOT SUBJECT TO ANIMALS GETTING INSIDE.
UM, THIS WILL COME UP TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY PER VIOLATION IF IT IS NOT FIXED.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ON OCTOBER 20TH.
WE'RE GOING TO NOT LET IT DIE.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR.
ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
ISAIAH YOU'VE MADE PROGRESS, BUT WE DON'T WANT ANY MORE EMPTY PROMISES.
AND WE'VE HEARD THAT AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR HELPERS IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE WORKING ON YOUR HOUSE.
SO YOU NEED TO GET IT SCHEDULED AND GET IT FIXED.
UH, ISAIAH, THERE WAS A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP.
I WAS WONDERING IF HE COULD HELP ME OUT JUST TO CLARIFY FOR ME, DO YOU LIVE AT THIS ADDRESS OR WHO DOES LIVE AT THE ADDRESS? THAT'D BE A BETTER QUESTION.
WELL, BECAUSE WE'RE SITTING HERE TRYING TO THINK OF WHO TO DEAL WITH.
AND IF YOU DIDN'T LIVE THERE, MAYBE WE SHOULD BE DEALING WITH YOUR SISTER INSTEAD.
OR, UH, UNDERSTAND THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE THAT LIVES THERE.
ALSO, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DEALING AND MAKING SURE WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT WE NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT THERE ALL THE TIME, UH, WE SEND SOME POSTAGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
[00:30:01]
THERE.IT JUST, IT DOESN'T MAKE IT A GOOD COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.
AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, EVERYBODY IS, UH, PLUGGED INTO THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID, YOU'RE NOT THERE.
OFTEN OTHERS SAID THAT'S WHY IT'S QUESTIONED.
NOW YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTION.
I WAS JUST STANDING JUST IN CASE MORE QUESTIONS WERE MADE.
I MEAN, LIKE I'VE SAID BEFORE, I MEAN I'M EITHER AT SCHOOL OR, AND ARE YOU LIVING HERE AS WELL? YEAH.
SO THERE'S SOMEBODY THERE ALL THE TIME.
WELL, LISTEN, YOU HEARD THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING, UM, ON OCTOBER 26TH, UH, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT.
AND SO MAKE SURE YOU GOT THIS STUFF CLEARED UP, UH, AND THE WATER BILL CURRENT DAY ON THAT DAY.
UM, NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM FOUR AND LET'S YOU GUYS WAKE THOSE PEOPLE UP BACK THERE WAY.
UM, PRESENTATION FROM USW UTILITY GROUP MAY CHARGE THEM ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, REGARDING REPAIRS TO THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
UH, ROD, YOU WANT TO COME UP AND TELL US WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR AND TELL US WHO WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM FIRST, MEGAN, WE'RE OFF CLOT.
WE'RE HAVING A PRESENTATION BASED ON THE REPAIRS AT THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM H R M ENVIRONMENTAL AND AVIVO.
WE WILL ALSO BE, UH, ZOOMING IN AN INDIVIDUAL FROM SALT LAKE, FROM SALT LAKE WHO IS, UH, IS PART AND PARCEL TO THIS PROJECT.
SO, AND NO OTHER ADO, I WILL LET COREY TAKE OVER.
COME UP, INTRODUCE YOURSELF INTO THIS GOOD EVENING.
HOW'S EVERYONE DOING THIS EVENING.
EVERYONE'S FACES AGAIN FOR A CHANGE.
UM, AS MANY OF YOU ALL KNOW, UH, WE ARE THE USW UTILITY GROUP IS THE OPERATOR FOR THE CITY OF MEADOWS PLACE.
WE'VE BEEN THE OPERATOR IN THE CITY NOW FOR SEVEN YEARS, WHICH WE ARE VERY PROUD OF AND, UH, WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU ALL.
SO LET'S GET DOWN TO THE FACTS.
THE FACTS ARE THAT, UH, THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY IS OVER 40 YEARS OLD.
IT HAS EQUIPMENT THAT'S BEEN OPERATING, UH, FOR SOME TIME AND THERE'S BEEN A LOTS AND LOTS OF MAINTENANCE DONE ON THIS EQUIPMENT.
AND IT'S TO THE POINT TO WHERE WE, WE REALLY CAN'T DO ANY MORE MAINTENANCE ON IT.
IT'S, WE'VE, WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD DO TO THIS POINT.
AND IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT TO WHERE WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT POSSIBLE REHABILITATION OR REPLACEMENT.
UH, THE FINAL EFFLUENT TREATMENT COST IS GOING UP, UH, TO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THE PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING OUR TCQ, UH, REQUIREMENTS.
UH THAT'S UH, ON THE, UM, THE, THE MONTHLY DMR, UH, CONSTANT MAINTENANCE ON THE TRAVELING BRIDGE, WHICH ARE THE LIMIT SWITCHES, UH, THE WHEELS, THE COGS, OR DRIVE UNITS, THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, UH, SPRAYER SUMP PUMP.
SO FAR SINCE WE'VE BEEN HERE WITHIN LIKE THE LAST FIVE YEARS, I THINK WE SPENT WELL OVER $350,000 ON MAINTENANCE, UH, FOR THE TRAVELING BRIDGE, WHICH IS ABOUT A THIRD OF THE COST OF THE REHABILITATION COSTS OF THIS TRAVELING BRIDGE.
THERE'S ALSO SAFETY CONCERNS, UH, ROTTING, TROUGHS.
WHEN THE GUYS ARE OUT THERE CLEANING THE CLARIFIERS, UH, THAT'S AN ISSUE.
UH, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY CAN FALL THROUGH THE TROUGH AND POSSIBLY DROWN GET INFECTED WITH SOME TYPE OF MICROORGANISM.
AND THEN WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, UH, SOME, SOME REAL DIRE ISSUES, UH, THAT WE'LL BE DEALING WITH, UH, THERE'S ROTTING, WEIRS, UH, THAT, UH, ARE BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARDS AS, AS THEY'RE RIDING OFF THEIR SHARP EDGES, THAT THE GUYS CAN GET HUNG UP ON AND CUT THEMSELVES WHILE THEY'RE CLEANING THE CLARIFIERS.
UH, AUTOMATED COMPONENTS ARE NO LONGER WORKING, UH, WHICH ARE THE LIMIT SWITCHES THAT AUTOMATE THE RETURN SYSTEM, UH, THOSE NO LONGER WORK AND THOSE NEED TO BE
[00:35:01]
REPLACED AS WELL.SO FAILURE OF THE BRIDGE LEADS TO PROCESS CONTROL COMPLICATION, ADDITIONAL COSTS IN A CITY FOR SLUDGE REMOVAL AND REPAIRS.
UH, TCQ CAN SITE THE CITY WITH THE VIOLATION, WHICH COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO ENFORCEMENT.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO KEEP THE CITY OUT OF.
SO WE HAD A COUPLE OF CONTRACTORS COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT CLARIFICATION PROCESS FOR THE CITY.
A RAGED CONSTRUCTION, UH, CAME OUT AND GAVE A COST FOR CONVENTIONAL, A CIRCULAR ABOVE GROUND CLARIFIER THAT COST ESTIMATE COME IN SOMEWHERE AROUND 1.5, $1.89, WHICH IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REBUILD AND PUT IN A NEW CLARIFICATION PROCESS.
SO WE MET WITH THE VIVO IN HRM, ENVIRONMENTAL.
THEY'RE SITTING HERE IN THE BACK AND WISH THEY PRESENTED A REHABILITATION OPPORTUNITY, UH, WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF ABOUT $800,000, WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY LESS, UH, AND THE SYSTEM KEEPS THE CURRENT PROCESS THE SAME.
UH, SO IT'S, IT'S REALLY NOT A WHOLE LOT OF, UH, UH, DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY THAT THE TRAVELING BRIDGE IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED.
UH, JUST DIFFERENT MOVING PIECES, UH, MORE TECHNOLOGY, UH, INVOLVED, UH, COMPONENTS, UH, WHICH WILL GIVE THE CITY MORE LONGEVITY, UH, WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M GOING TO, UH, LET THEM TAKE OVER.
I KNOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A LONG TIME TO GET PLUGGED UP AND GIVE THEIR PRESENTATION.
AND IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, UH, WE'LL ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.
AND PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND SPEAK INTO THE MICROWAVE.
YOU CAN SO THAT WE CAN RECORD IT.
AND FOR ALL THE FOLKS THAT ARE AT HOME AND THERE'S SURE, THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS BRENDAN KELLY AND WITH HRM ENVIRONMENTAL.
SO WE ARE THE LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR AVIVA.
MY NAME IS RUDY MORRISON AND I'M AFTER MARKETS MANAGER FOR, UH, A VIVO AUSTIN CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTS.
AND, UH, WE'RE THE FOLKS THAT ACTUALLY BUILT THE EQUIPMENT THAT YOU'VE GOT ON THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
IF YOU'LL GIVE ME JUST A SECOND ON MAY NEED TO HELP HER GET THE RIGHT FILE STARTED UP.
I'M GOING TO BE, UH, ZOOMING IN, UH, A COLLEAGUE THAT'S CURRENTLY IN SALT LAKE CITY WHERE OUR, ONE OF OUR MAIN OFFICES ARE.
AND BECAUSE HE IS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT ON PART OF THE SYSTEM, THIS, THIS GENTLEMAN'S NAME IS JOHN VORE WALLER.
BEAR WITH ME JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE.
[00:40:04]
I CAN GET CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.WE'RE WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING NOW.
I'M DIALING MR. VORE WALLER IN RIGHT NOW.
I'M GOING TO GET YOU CONNECTED TO EXTERNAL SPEAKERS RIGHT QUICK.
CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING, JOHN? YES.
HOW ARE YOU DOING? LET ME TURN, UH, TURN THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP HERE.
JOHN, CAN YOU SEE THE, UH, THE DISPLAY SCREEN? UH, NOT YET.
OH, LET ME SEE IF, UH, LET ME GET VIDEOS STARTED HERE, BUD.
BUT ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA PUT ON MY, MY, UH, MY PART OF THIS THING FIRST.
SO IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND SO GENERALLY, UM, AS AN ENERGY COOL, QUICK INTRODUCTION, UH, OH, VIVO IS, UM, A COMPANY THAT HAS, UM, UH, IS A CONGLOMERATION OF A LOT OF OLD BRANDS, UH, IN VIRAL QUIP OF AUSTIN BEING ONE IN VIRAL QUIP WAS THE GUYS THAT ACTUALLY BUILT 99% OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S IN YOUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BACK IN THE MID EIGHTIES.
AND SO NEXT SLIDE, UM, TRAVELING, BRIDGES, TRAVELING, BRIDGE CLARIFIERS, WE SPECIALIZE IN WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW COMPANIES THAT THAT DO.
AND SO WE WERE PROBABLY THE FOREMOST EXPERT IN TRAVELING BRIDGE COLLECTOR MECHANISMS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
UM, WE'RE LOCATED IN AUSTIN, SO WE'RE RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO, UM, COME DOWN
[00:45:01]
AND HELP KICK COREY OUT ANYTIME HE NEEDS US.UM, GENERALLY SPEAKING HERE, HERE'S A PICTURE OF YOUR, UM, TRAVELING BRIDGE CLARIFIER AND, UM, THE BASINS THEMSELVES AND THE BRIDGE SUPERSTRUCTURE TO BE THEIR AGE ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.
UM, WE DO OBVIOUSLY HAVE A FEW PROBLEMS WITH IT BEING THAT IT'S SO OLD, NEXT SLIDE.
UH, THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO, UH, THE BRIDGE NOT BEING ALIGNED.
AND SO IT'LL TRY TO GO DOWN THE RAILS SIDEWAYS AND THAT TAKES ITS TOLL ON, ON THE WHEELS.
IF YOU LOOK ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, THAT'S ONE OF YOUR WHEELS.
UM, THE PHOTO ON THE RIGHT IS A NEW IN TRUCK FOR A TRAVELING BRIDGE THAT WE REHABBED RECENTLY DOWN IN CORPUS.
UH, AND SO OUR INTENT IS TO REPLACE THE, THE IN TRUCKS ON BOTH THE BRIDGES AND MODERNIZE THAT EQUIPMENT TO WHERE YOU'VE GOT GOT, UH, THE, THE LATEST AND GREATEST NEXT SLIDE.
I'LL GO INTO AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU GUYS WANT ME TO, UM, LET'S, LET'S BACK UP ONE SLIDE PLEASE.
AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE THE THIRD FROM THE BOTTOM OR TOP THERE.
SO IF CURRENTLY YOUR BRIDGE HAS FOUR WHEEL HYDRAULIC DRIVE, THERE ARE FOUR HYDRAULIC MOTORS, UM, ONE FOR EACH WHEEL.
TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ALL FOUR MOTORS ARE BRAND SPANKING NEW, THEY'RE ALL TURNING AT THE SAME SPEED AS THEY WERE.
UM, THEY START TURNING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY IF ONE MOTOR GOES OUT AND IT GETS REPLACED, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S BRAND NEW.
AND WHEREAS THE OTHER THREE ARE OLDER AND THAT BRIDGE IS THE WHEELS ARE TURNING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND THIS CAUSES THE BRIDGE TO TRY TO GET SIDEWAYS ON THE RAILS.
AND SO YOU GET POPPING AND ALL KINDS OF NOISE AND IT'S, IT JUST, IT WEARS THE WHEELS OUT IN, IN VERY SHORT ORDER.
UM, THAT'S THE PRIMARY CAUSE FOR, UM, THE WHEEL AIR, UH, NEXT LINE TO CORRECT.
UM, SO, SO WHAT WE'RE INTENDING TO DO IS TO REPLACE THE FOUR WHEEL HYDRAULICS WITH A LINE SHAFT, COG DRIVEN, MODERN DRIVE, SUCH THAT BOTH, BOTH ENDS OF THE IN TRUCKS THERE'S THERE BOTH ENDS OF THE BRIDGE CAN CANNOT HELP, BUT GO DOWN THE RAIL AT THE SAME SPEED.
AND, AND SO, HENCE YOU'RE, YOU'RE DRIVING A LINE SHAFT THAT DRIVES THE COG WHEELS FROM ONE MOTOR, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRIDGE.
SO HERE'S THE, LEFT-HAND THE LEFT-HAND PHOTO.
THERE IS YOU COULD SEE THE SPALLING AND THE SHARP EDGE OF THE RAIL, UM, WHERE, UH, THE, THE, THE FLANGE OF THE WHEEL HAS BEEN RUBBING UP AGAINST IT REAL HARD.
UH, THE PHOTO ON THE RIGHT IS A PHOTO OF SOME NEW BRAILLE THAT'S BEEN INSTALLED.
SO, UH, I GUESS NEXT LINE, UM, ALSO, UH, WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS MODERNIZE THE POWER DISTRIBUTION TO THE BRIDGE, TO WHERE, HOW, HOW WE ACTUALLY GET POWER TO THE BRIDGE.
UH, CURRENTLY THE PHOTO ON THE LEFT IS OF, UH, UH, A FESTOON SYSTEM, UH, THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS EXACTLY YOUR PLANT, BUT YOU HAVE SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR.
IT'S, IT'S VERY PRONE TO WIND DAMAGE TO UV DAMAGE.
AND, UM, UH, IT'S, IT'S PRONE TO JUST ELEMENTAL DAMAGE OR DAMAGE FROM THE ELEMENTS.
UM, UH, THE, HOW WE WILL, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO INTEND TO FIX THAT IS TO, UM, UH,
[00:50:01]
SUPPLY A NEW POWER DISTRIBUTION SHOWN ON THE RIGHT, WHICH IS A, WHAT WE CALL A POWER BAR SYSTEM, BUT IT'S GOT A LITTLE CAR THAT RUNS INSIDE THAT ORANGE TRACK.AND SO ALL OF IT IS MAINTAINED IT'S, IT'S UV RESISTANT, AND IT'S ALSO, UH, INSIDE SUCH THAT, UM, UH, UH, THE ELEMENTS CAN'T GET TO IT.
UM, IF I'VE SEEN THESE THINGS WHERE THE WIND WILL BLOW, THEY'LL GET TANGLED UP, THE BRIDGE WILL START MOVING, IT'LL TEAR THE WIRE THAT YOU'VE GOT TO EITHER BLOWN BREAKERS OR, I MEAN, IT CAN BE ELECTROCUTION HAZARD IF THE SUN EATS THROUGH THE JACKET ON THE, ON THE, UH, FESTOON CABLE.
SO IT'S A, THIS IS JUST A, A MUCH MORE MODERN WAY OF DOING IT AND MORE RELIABLE.
UM, UH, NEXT SLIDE, UH, CONTROLS.
UM, THE PHOTO ON THE LEFT IS ACTUALLY ONE, ONE OF THE BRIDGES THAT YOU GUYS HAVE, UH, UH, IT'S IT'S, UM, ANTIQUATED CONTROLS THAT HAVE BEEN WORKED ON, UH, BY, I DON'T KNOW WHO, UM, AND HENCE THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT, NOT DEPENDABLE, UH, SUBJECT THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY WORN OUT THE PASTOR LIFE, LIFETIME EXPECTANCY.
AND SO, UH, WHAT WE WOULD DO IS TO REPLACE THE CONTROL PANELS, PUT CONTROL PANEL COMPLETELY, UH, WITH NEW MODERN STUFF, UH, INCLUDING PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS, PLCS, UM, YEAH, I KNOW, UH, THAT WE WE'VE ALSO GOT SURGE PROTECTION AND, UM, UM, UH, I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT HERE.
NEXT SLIDE AND WHAT, YEAH, YOU GOT DIRTY POWER PROTECTION.
UM, OH, AND VFDS FOR THE MOTORS, THE, THE, ALL THE MOTORS ON THIS BRIDGE WILL BE VARIABLE SPEED, VARIABLE SPEED AC UH, THE PHOTO ON THE LEFT IS, IS AN EIGHT, UH, REPRESENTATIVE THE TYPES OF LIMIT SWITCHES THAT YOUR BRIDGE HAS NOW, WHICH IS ROD OR ROD TOLD ME EARLIER, THIS WAS THE CAT'S MEOW BACK IN 1988.
IT'S NO LONGER, UH, THE, THE PROXIMITY SWITCHES ON THE RIGHT ARE, UH, MUCH LESS PRONE TO GETTING MOISTURE IN THEM, JUST SOLID STATE.
UH, THEY'RE A LOT MORE DEPENDABLE.
UH, AND SO, UM, THIS, THIS, THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE SHOWS YOU A PHOTO OF PART OF YOUR EFFLUENT TROUGH AND, UH, AS OPPOSED TO HOW, HOW, WHAT WE INTEND TO DO TO REPLACE, UH, YOUR, YOUR EFFLUENT LAUNDERS ON THE PLANT.
AND SO AT THIS POINT, I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO GIVE IT TO MR. BORA WALLER.
JOHN, ARE YOU READY? YES, I AM.
SO THE PRESENTATION THAT I HAVE, I DON'T WANT TO SCARE YOU.
I USUALLY GO AN HOUR, BUT TODAY I DID IT IN 20 MINUTES.
I CAN GO THROUGH THESE SLIDES VERY FAST, BUT JUST TO GET EVERYONE KIND OF, UH, GET THEIR CLARIFIER JUICES GOING.
AND THIS HAS WORKED IN AN OPEN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS.
IF YOU WANT TO YELL OUT THE ANSWER, IF NOT, I'LL WAIT A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN I'LL TELL YOU THE ANSWER, BUT I'M GOING TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF QUIZZES AND THE, AND THE QUESTIONS ARE REALLY NOT THAT HARD.
SO TODAY I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE SUMMERS THAT FULL LAUNDRY AND GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
SO OUR CLARIFIERS MAINTENANCE-FREE NO, THE ANSWER IS NO.
WHERE IS THE MAINTENANCE USUALLY OCCURRING? LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
IF YOU WANT TO PAUSE THIS VIDEO JUST FOR A SECOND, UH, ABOUT RIGHT NOW, IT'S IN THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER.
[00:55:01]
IF YOU CAN'T PAUSE IT, THAT'S FINE.UM, WHAT ARE YOUR OBSERVATIONS HERE? WHAT DO YOU SEE ON THE SURFACE? WHAT DO YOU SEE? AND THE BE NOTCHES OF THE WE'RE ALGAE, LOTS OF ALGAE ON THE LAUNDRY WALL, LOTS OF ALGAE IN THE V NOTCHES.
AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, EFFLUENT FLOW WAS ONLY GOING OVER.
MAYBE I'D SAY LESS THAN 50% OF THOSE V NOTCHES.
NOW, WHEN YOU HAVE UNEQUAL FLOW DISTRIBUTION, LIKE THAT BAD ACTUALLY INCREASES THE VELOCITY THROUGH THOSE V NOTCHES, AND YOU GET A HIGHER EFFLUENT SUSPENDED SOLIDS, WHICH IS A POORER EFFLUENT QUALITY.
ALSO, IF YOU LOOK ON THE SURFACE, STOP IT RIGHT THERE IN BETWEEN THE SCUMBAG EFL AND THE WEIRD YOU CAN SEE FOLDABLES, YOU CAN SEE DUCKWEED, UM, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS COMBAT, WELL, YOU CAN SEE SCUM NOW, SCUM RISES TO THE SURFACE AND YOUR SKIMMER WORKS TO THE SCUMBAG LEVEL.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE SCUM BAFFLE AND THE WEIRD, THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN GET SCUM INFILTRATION, WHICH ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR EFFLUENT.
WHEN YOU HAVE A PEAK FLOW IN A OVERFLOW WE'RE V NOTCH, THE CHANGE IN WATER ELEVATION IS PROBABLY ABOUT A HALF AN INCH, MAYBE THREE QUARTERS, WHEN THAT RAISES AND THE VELOCITY THROUGH THAT V NOTCH INCREASES, YOU ARE GOING TO DISLODGE SOME OF THAT ALGAE.
SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DOWNSTREAM IMPLICATIONS YOU CAN, IF YOU JUST HIT THE ARROW AGAIN, A COUPLE OF TIMES, UM, YOU HAVE ALGAE, UH, YOU HAVE FILTERS FOLLOWING, GO AGAIN, AND YOU HAVE FALLING OF THE UV FILTERS.
WHEN YOU FALL UV FILTERS, IT INCREASES YOUR POWER CONSUMPTION, UM, AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T DISINFECT AS WELL.
AND THE AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE AND TIME IT TAKES TO PULL OUT THOSE RACKS, THEY'RE HEAVY AND THEY'RE FRAGILE.
LET'S GO TO THE NEXT, UH, SLIDE CLARIFIERS ON AVERAGE, TWO TO FOUR HOURS OF CLEANING ALGAE IN THE LAUNDERS PER CLARIFIER PER WEEK.
THAT'S TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MAINTENANCE COSTS.
YOU SEE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF JOINTS, A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, THE BRUSHES, THEY GET SET AFTER A WHILE AND THEY DON'T APPLY PRESSURE.
SO YOU'RE CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING THIS NEXT SLIDE.
NEXT SLIDE, SAFETY CONCERNS, UH, NEW BRAUNFELS PLANT HERE IN TEXAS.
UM, THEIR BIGGEST CONCERN OR DRIVER WITH GOING WITH THE SEL AND ELIMINATING, UH, CLEANING ALGAE IS SAFETY CONCERNS.
YOU SEE THESE BEAN NOTCHES, THEY'RE PRETTY POINTY.
YOU GET IN THE LAUNDER WITH ALGAE, IT'S SLIPPERY.
WELL, THEY ALSO SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH SHARKS AND OCEAN.
THAT'S MY ONLY JOKE FOR TONIGHT.
SO YOU CAN GET IT OUT AND LAUGH.
NOW, IF YOU MIGHT NEXT SLIDE, UM, ALSO THEY HAVE EIGHT OPERATORS AND FIVE PLANTS, UM, DO THE DOWN ARROW AGAIN, I GUESS, UH, TO GET TO THAT.
AND THEY ARE SPREAD THIN AND INSTEAD OF OPERATING, THEY SHOULD BE MAINTAINING THEIR PLANTS.
SO NOW THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED THESE PAIN POINTS, LET'S TALK ABOUT NOMENCLATURE AND WHAT SYSTEMS ARE OUT THERE.
YOU GOT IN BOARDS TO THE LEFT, WHICH IS OFF THE TAKE WALL.
YOU'VE GOT A CONCRETE INTERNAL LAUNDER, OR YOU'VE GOT AN EXTERNAL NEXT SLIDE.
SO IN BOARD, WANDERS, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL, WHAT DO YOU DO TO OVERCOME ALGAE NEXT, A DOWN ARROW YOU PUT ON LAUNDRY COVERS.
IT'S PROVEN TECHNOLOGY, EVERY USES ALGAE.
UM, NEXT IS YOU PUT ON DENSITY.
CURRENT BAFFLES, PLENTY OF STUDIES ARE OUT THERE THAT REDUCE EFFLUENT TSS.
THERE'S A STUDY AND IT SHOWS TO THE LEFT GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
[01:00:03]
HUH? KEEP GOING DOWN ARROW BOY.SOMETHING MUST HAVE, OH, HERE.
BUT AT THE, I SEE, I CAN'T SEE THE STUDIES TO THE LEFT, BUT TO THE LEFT, YOU'LL SEE.
UM, THE F THE CURRENT UNDER THE LIQUID LEVEL OF A CLARIFIER, SEE HOW THE SLUDGE BLANKET, THE FLOW GOES ALONG THE SLUDGE BLANKET UP THE WALL, AND THEN INTO THE DOUBLE-SIDED WE'RE B UH, INBOARD WANDER.
WELL, THE STUDY BAIT WENT AHEAD AND PUT A DENSITY CURVE BAFFLED, AND YOU CAN SEE IT REDIRECTS THE FLOW INWARDLY SO THAT THE EFFLUENT TSS IS ABLE TO RESETTLE.
AND IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, UM, FOR YOU HAVE TWO GRAPHS THERE BEFORE AND AFTER, IF YOU WANT TO CLICK A COUPLE OF TIMES, UM, BUT BEFORE IS WITHOUT DENSITY, CURRENT BAFFLES AND AFTER IS WITH, YOU WENT FROM 40 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER, EFFLUENT TO 10, SO A BETTER F1 QUALITY.
SO WE KNOW THAT WE LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE YET.
UM, WE KNOW THAT LONGER COVERS AND DENSITY, CURRENT BAFFLES WORK, UM, BUT SOME OF THE DISADVANTAGES OF INBOARD MONITORS, LIMITED ACCESS, LARGE SUPPORT STRUCTURES, NO LONGER COVER.
YOU CAN CLICK THROUGH THESE BULLET POINTS, DENSITY, CURRENT PROBLEMS, AND AFFLUENT QUALITY.
UM, SO NOW LET'S GO OVER A LITTLE BIT MORE NOMENCLATURE, A COUPLE MORE CLICKS.
UH, NUMBER ONE IS THE EFFLUENT MONITOR.
NUMBER TWO IS THE WEIRD THREE SCUMBAG HOLE, FOUR DENSITY, CURRENT BAFFLED FIVE LAUNDER COVER.
NOW THE FIRST THREE, IF YOU CLICK BELL, GET HIGHLIGHTED, UM, AFTER WHAT MODERATE, WHERE COME BAFFLE, THERE IS EVERY PLANT AND I HAVEN'T DONE A SURVEY, BUT MOST PLANTS DO NOT HAVE DENSITY CRUMP PATH, PROBABLY LESS THAN 50% AND LESS THAN 20% HAVE WATER COVERS.
AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IT'S PROBABLY DUE TO COSTS.
AND USUALLY THE ENGINEER WILL SAY, HEY, IF YOU REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM, LET'S GET THOSE LATER BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD ADD UP FAIRLY EASY DOWN THE ROAD.
SO THAT'S A LOT OF COMPONENTS.
SO WHAT DID AVIVO DO? LET'S A COUPLE MORE CLICKS THERE.
WE DECIDED TO GROW UP JUST KIDDING.
INSTEAD OF DRAWING SCRIBBLY LINES, WE SAID, LET'S DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE.
AND WE BASICALLY SAID, WHAT IF WE CAN COME UP WITH A DESIGN WHERE IT'S EASIER TO INSTALL AN EDITING, IT HAS, UM, ALGAE ELIMINATING, UH, PROPERTIES AND ALSO PROVIDES BETTER EFFLUENT QUALITY.
THIS IS, UM, OUR SUBMERGE AFFLUENT LAUNDER.
UM, IT WAS PATENTED MARCH 20TH, 2018.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS ONE UPPER PANEL AND ONE LOWER.
SO YOU HAVE THE DARK PURPLE, WHICH IS THE UPPER PANEL.
AND YOU CAN SEE ORIFICES THAT ARE SUBMERGED.
THE LIQUID LEVEL IS UP ON THAT STRAIGHT EDGE OF THE PURPLE AND, UM, THE LOWER PANELS, THE HORIZONTAL PANEL.
SO LET'S GO AND TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT.
UM, SO IT'S ONE COMPONENT SERVING FIVE FUNCTIONS.
YOU CAN CLICK THROUGH THE FIRST FIVE THERE AND A BULLET POINTS, AND ONE SERVES AS THE EFFLUENT LAUNDRY.
SO THAT TRIANGULAR SPACE SERVES AS THE LAUNDER AND IT'S SUBMERGED.
THE SCUM BAFFLED NOW GOES UP AGAINST THE TANK WALL, AND NOW YOU CAN SEE THE SCUMBAG AWFUL.
THERE'S NO SPACE BETWEEN THAT AND THE WEIRD, AND THERE'S NO OVERFLOW WEIRD.
WE'LL DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT LATER.
UM, SO HOW DOES, HOW DOES THE ORIFICES ARE ABOUT 18 INCHES, THE VOLUME OR WATERFLOW? OH, KEEP GOING, SORRY.
SO WE'LL SAY YOU HAVE A VOLUME OF WATER IN YOUR TROUGH.
HOW DOES THAT RELATE BACK TO WHAT'S IN THE SUBMERGED LAUNDER? I MEAN, IS IT THE SAME VOLUME? YES.
AND IT'S, UH, IT'S NOW A CONDUIT FLOW.
IT'S LIKE A PIPE FLOW BECAUSE IT'S UNDERWATER.
SO IT'S FULLY SUBMERGED AND IT'S A FULL PIPE AND WE SIZE THE EXIT VELOCITY OF THAT FLOW IN THAT LAUNDRY AT FOUR FEET PER SECOND, WHICH IS VERY TYPICAL
[01:05:01]
FOR RECTANGULAR LAUNDERS.SO IT'S A VERY SIMILAR SIZE IN IT AND IT TRANSPORTS THE SAME AMOUNT OF FLOAT.
UM, SO WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
UM, HOW DOES, HOW DOES IT, HOW DOES IT PREVENT, UH, ALGAE, UM, UV LIGHT AFTER ABOUT A LEADER AND ABSORBS 45% FOR ALGAE, YOU NEED LIGHT NITROGEN AND PHOSPHOROUS.
UM, ONCE THAT WATER ENTERS THAT TRIANGULAR LONGER, IT'S ENCLOSED, THERE IS NO MORE LIGHT EXPOSURE, SO THERE'S NO MORE POTENTIAL ALGAE GROWTH INSIDE THAT LAUNDER.
UM, NOW WE DO HAVE WATER NUTRIENTS, JUST LIKE A RECTANGULAR WATER.
SO THERE'S NO ADVANTAGE THERE, BUT ALSO THE, UM, SURFACE OF FRP HAS A SMALLER, UH, PORE SIZE THAN STEEL.
UM, YOU CAN CLICK THROUGH THERE'S THREE BULLET POINTS THERE, AND THERE ARE FOUR.
AND THEN ALSO TIME, UH, WE DID ADD A SWEEPER TO THEIR DESIGN.
UH, WE CAN SHOW THAT LATER ON THE PRESENTATION, UM, SO THAT IF ALGAE OR SOLIDS GATHER UP ON THE SURFACE, IT'S SWEPT AWAY.
SO HOW DOES A SEL WORK HYDRAULICALLY? UM, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH SUCTION DUCT CLARIFIERS, UM, YOU HAVE VERY VARYING SIZE ORIFICES TO GET VARYING FLOWS.
UM, SO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND CLICK ONE MORE TIME.
YOU'LL SEE SOME ARROWS POINTING OUT TO THE ORIFICES.
AND THEN ONE MORE TIME, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE FLOW IS THE SAME PATTERN AS A RECTANGULAR, UH, WANDER.
THIS IS THE EFFLUENT BOX, UH, WHERE YOU SEE A SLIGHT GATE AND THEN 180 DEGREES FROM THERE IS WHERE THE FLOW STARTS.
AND THEN IT COMES AROUND JUST LIKE A RECTANGULAR LAUNDER AND THE FLOW INCREASES AS IT GETS TOWARDS THE EXIT UP TO FOUR FEET PER SECOND, UP TO PEAK FLOW.
UM, NOW AS THAT WATER TRAVELS IN THAT CONDUIT, THIS SPEED INCREASES.
AND AS THAT SPEED INCREASES, IF YOU EVER FELT A BIG BUS DRIVE RIGHT BY YOU, I MEAN, IT JUST HAS A STRONG FORCE OF WIND.
WELL, IN THIS CASE, IT'S LIKE A VACUUM.
SO THE ORIFICE SIZE, WE WIND UP DECREASING AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE LAUNDER, BECAUSE THE F THE FLOW, THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE IS TO GO OUT THIS F FOUR BOX.
SO WE WANT TO KIND OF RESTRICT THE FLOW ON THAT SIDE AND MAKE THE FLOW A LOT EASIER TO GO TO 180 DEGREES.
NOW LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SIDE AND I'LL SHOW YOU, OH, HERE, JUST, UM, HOW WE CONTROL IT.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE THREE FORMS OF BEING A TROLL, BUT THE NUMBER ONE, ONE THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS A, UM, AN ACTUATOR SLIGHT GATE WITH LEVEL TRANSMITTERS.
SO AS THE LEVEL GOES UP, IT WILL CAUSE THE ACTUATOR TO OPEN THE SIDE GATE AND BRING IT BACK DOWN AT THE WATER LEVEL GOES DOWN.
UH, BUT GATE CLOSES THE SLIDE GATE CONTROL SOME LIQUID LEVEL WITHIN PLUS OR MINUS 0.2, FIVE INCHES.
IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO AN OVERFILL WEIR.
WE ALSO HAVE A MECHANICAL DESIGN, UM, BUT THE LIQUID LEVEL INCREASES MORE.
AND WE CAN DISCUSS THAT FURTHER ON DOWN THE ROAD, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN WORK IN A SYSTEM.
SO WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR THE NEXT SLIDE, UH, TO THE LEFT, YOU'LL SEE OUR WET TECH DISPLAY.
YOU SEE THE RUBBER GROMMETS, WE DECIDED TO COLOR CODE THESE AND ALSO CHANGE THE INNER DIAMETER.
AND THAT'S HOW WE CHANGE THE INNER DIAMETER.
THE RED, LET'S SAY THAT'S THE 180 DEGREES FROM THE EFFLUENT BOX.
YOU CAN SEE THE INNER DIAMETER IS A LOT LARGER AND THE PURPLE WOULD BE OVER BY THE CONTROL GATE, MUCH SMALLER.
NOW, THE REASON WHY WE DID THAT IS SO THAT THE MANUFACTURER CAN'T JUST BORE A THREE INCH HOLE, AND WE PUT IN A PARAMETER THAT HAS A THREE INCH OUTER DIAMETER, AND THEN THE INNER DIAMETER DECREASES, UH, IT'S 2.7, FIVE INCHES DOWN TO AN INCH AND A HALF.
ALSO A CONTRACTOR WILL HAVE A GROMMET LAYOUT, AND THEY'LL JUST PUT IN THE COLOR CODES AS IT IS ON THE CHART.
AND THEN OUR SERVICEMEN CAN COME OUT.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO GET IN THE TANK AND MEASURE THE INNER DIAMETER.
AND IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE ANY KIND OF NUMBERING SYSTEM ON A BLACK GROMMET.
SO THIS IS OUR FIRST INSTALLATION AT SYKES CREEK, FLORIDA.
UM, OUR, OUR, UH, CLIENTS AT NEW BRAUNFELS, THEY ACTUALLY CAME DOWN TO THIS PLANT.
THEY GOT ON THIS WALKWAY WHEN IT WAS RUNNING.
AND WE SAT THERE PROBABLY FOR 30 MINUTES, SPEECHLESS, AND WE ALL LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE, WHY ARE WE LOOKING AT THIS AND ORLANDO AT, UH, THE SUPERINTENDENT?
[01:10:01]
HE'S LIKE, CAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN THE CLARIFIER WITH EVERYTHING UNDER THE WATER.THIS, YOU CAN, YOU CAN TURN DOWN THE MUSIC IF IT'S, UH, JUST GO TO THE LOWER RIGHT-HAND CORNER AND CLICK THE SOUND AND JUST MUTE IT AND YOU CAN LET IT JUST GO.
UM, BUT THIS WAS THE INSTALLATION.
IT TOOK, UM, LESS THAN HALF THE TIME OF A TRADITIONAL FIVE COMPONENT SYSTEM.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE THREE PEOPLE INSIDE THE TANK WITH A TWO SCAFFOLDING SYSTEM.
AND THE WAY I COMPARE IT, IT'S ALMOST LIKE INSTALLING A DENSITY CURRENT BAFFLED BECAUSE AFTER THEY INSTALLED THE FIRST UPPER PANEL AND THE LOWER PANEL, THEY WOULD MOVE AND GO TO THE SECOND SCAFFOLDING.
AND, UM, UM, THE NEXT UPPER, WHILE TWO PEOPLE WOULD FINISH OR NO ONE PERSON WAS ABLE TO FINISH OFF THE LOWER PANEL.
CAUSE WE PUT TWO JACK SCREWS UNDERNEATH THAT YOU CAN GET AT HOME DEPOT, YOU PUT TWO ANCHOR BOLTS IN, HAVE THOSE THERE, AND THEY CAN FINISH OFF THE REST OF ANCHOR BOLTS.
SO WE CAN PROBABLY JUST GO ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED WE HAD A BOOM JUST TO LIFT THE SLIDE GATE, THAT'S IT? UM, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS DROPPED DOWN MANUALLY.
UM, SO WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE THERE.
SO AFTER IT WAS INSTALLED, UH, WE DID A PEAK FLOW TEST, UM, AND WE DID THE SCL SYSTEM AND THAT WAS ABOUT 934 GPD PER SQUARE FOOT, THE TRADITIONAL CLARIFIER.
AND IT WAS THE SAME VIDEO THAT I SHOWED YOU THAT ALGAE LIFTED UP IN THOSE B NOTCHES.
AND THIS WAS A TEST OVER 30 MINUTES AND WE DID 20 MILLIGRAM PER LITER.
THE SEL CLARIFIER HAD 1.7 MILLIGRAM PER LITER.
SO POTENTIALLY IT MIGHT BE A MORE FORGIVING SYSTEM.
WELL, HOW LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE? WE DID SOME CFD ANALYSIS AND I AM GOING TO REALLY SKIM OVER THIS, BUT I'LL JUST TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, RED IS REALLY HIGH VELOCITIES, WHICH IS NOT GOOD.
AND BLUE IS REALLY GOOD PHILOSOPHIES, LOW LOSS.
YOU WANT LOW VELOCITIES IN A CLARIFIER.
SO KEEP CLICKING AND YOU'LL SEE INBOARD LAUNDER POP-UP THEN SCL LAUNDER.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE SCALE OF RED IS HIGH, HIGH YELLOWS, HIGH GRIEVANCE, LOW, AND BLUE IS LOW, LOW.
AND, UM, THE SEL WANDER WHEN YOU POP UP, IT SAYS MORE BLUE IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER THERE.
THIS SEL LAUNDER IS THE SAME FLOW AS THE INBOARD LAUNDER ON THE TOP.
THERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S GREEN AND GREEN IS A HIGHER VELOCITY.
AND THEN IN THE LOWER LEFT-HAND CORNER, THAT'S MAX FLOW OUR MAX MONTH.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S LESS GREEN IF YOU CLICK THAT TOGETHER, LESS GREEN.
AND THEN THE THIRD ONE PEAK FLOW IS THE LESS YELLOW.
SO IF YOU HAVE LOWER VELOCITIES AND THE SAME DISTANCE THAT CAR IS GOING TO GET THERE SLOWER, RIGHT? AND IT HAS TO TRAVEL TO THE TAPE WALL, JUST LIKE WE SAW THE CURRENT PATTERN, HOW IT GOES ALONG THE BLANKET TO THE TAPE WALL AND UP SAME THING HERE, LONGER DISTANCE, SLOWER VELOCITY, MORE TIME TO SETTLE AND BETTER EFFLUENT.
SO WE DID A TOP VIEW AND WE SEE THAT THE, THE ARROWS ARE KIND OF GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
UM, YOU HAVE THE INBOARD ON THE LEFT, KEEP CLICKING SCL LAUNDER ON THE RIGHT KEEP CLICKING.
AND THE VELOCITY PATTERN SEEMS SIMILAR.
UM, WHEN IT STARTED UP IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER, YOU CAN SEE THE EDI SCOOP IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER.
YOU CAN SEE THE SCUM BAFFLE, UH, PORTS IN BETWEEN AS THE ANNULAR SPACE.
AND I SAW THIS PATTERN, IT LOOKS LIKE A TREE STUMP AND I FELT, WOW, THAT'S KIND OF A SWIRL LOOKING PATTERN.
AND SO LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE ON MY ROAD TRIP BACK HOME ON THE PLANE.
I HAVE DONE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CFD ANALYSIS AND REVIEWED A LOT.
AND I DREW THESE FOUR DRAWINGS.
AND THE ONE TO THE LEFT IS JUST A COLUMN WITH A FEED WHILE I DO SHOW FEED.
WELL WITH NO EDI, YOU WOULD SEE A CFD WITH FOUR DISTINCT, VERY RED VELOCITIES, AND THAT'S NOT USING THE WHOLE VOLUME METRIC BASIS THEN TO THE RIGHT.
YOU PUT AN EDI IN BETWEEN THE COLUMN AND THE FEED.
WELL, AND LOOK, WHAT HAPPENS THAT EDI COURT, IT SENDS
[01:15:01]
A TANGENTIAL OR A, OR A 30 DEGREE ANGLE.AND THAT HYPOTONY IS, IS A LONGER PATH NOW TO THE LEFT OR TO THE LEFT BOTTOM.
I THOUGHT WITH THAT SWIRL PATTERN, YOU MIGHT BE GETTING A BOOMERANG PATTERN AND KEEP, UH, CLICKING.
SO IF YOU HAVE MORE SWIRL, POSSIBLY LONGER PARTICLE PATH, KEEP CLICKING MORE TIME TO SETTLE AND BETTER EFFLUENT.
SO NOW I'M JUST WANTING TO TALK ABOUT ONE MORE POTENTIAL BENEFIT HERE AT SYKES CREEK.
THAT WAS ACTUALLY AN FRP LAUNDER.
WE TOOK IT OFF THE WALL, UM, ON THE LEFT AND WE TOOK OFF THE WEIR AND THE SCUMBAG FULL.
AND IF YOU PUT THAT SCUMBAG UP AGAINST THE WALL, YOU NOW HAVE INCREASED YOUR SURFACE DIAMETER BY THREE FEET BECAUSE EACH LAUNDER WAS A FOOT AND A HALF TIMES TWO IS THREE FEET.
YOU'VE INCREASED YOUR SURFACE AREA BY 8.6%.
YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR HYDRAULIC LOADING.
ALSO, I TALKED EARLIER AT THE FIRST VIDEO THAT SCUM IN FILTRATION COMING UP BETWEEN THE SCUMBAG ON THE WEIR WALL.
IF YOU PUT THE SCUMBAG, FILL UP AGAINST THE WALL, THERE'S NO PLACE FOR IT TO GO.
SO YOU'VE GOT A HUNDRED PERCENT FULL RADIUS, SKINNY NEXT SLIDE, UH, ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS.
UM, YOU ARE ALL LONGER COMPONENTS OR UNDERWATER HIGH WINDS.
SENSOR, ONE OF THE TOP FIVE, MAYBE TOP 10, UM, ENGINEERS AND THE WASTEWATER INDUSTRY.
HE DID A STUDY FOR ONE OF THE LA TREATMENT PLANTS.
WE WERE RECTANGULAR CLARIFIERS AND DURING HIGH WIND EVENTS, THEY WOULD GET 30 TO 50 MILLIGRAM PER LITER OF EFFLUENT TSS.
AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WITH CFD THAT BECAUSE OF THE HIGH WINDS AND THE EQUAL FLOW DISTRIBUTION, WHICH I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THEY GOT POOR EFFLUENT QUALITY.
UM, ALSO WE WERE IN FLORIDA AND WE INSTALLED THIS TWO MONTHS AFTER HURRICANE MICHAEL BAY SAID, HEY, NO LONGER COVER PROJECTILES.
UM, I'M SURE IF IT CAN BLOW OFF A ROOF, IT CAN BLOW OFF A LOT OR COVER, UM, ICE BUILD UP, NOT A PROBLEM, UH, NOT REALLY A PROBLEM IN HOUSTON.
UM, BUT IT'S ONE OF THE OTHER BENEFITS AND THEN MINIMIZING UV DEGRADATION, CAUSE IT'S ALL UNDERWATER.
SO NEXT SLIDE, TIME TO IMPROVE.
AND WE'RE REAL CLOSE TO FINISHING HERE.
UM, WE SAW ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AFTER STARTUP EFFLUENT, TSS WAS HOVERING OVER THE, UH, UPPER LAUNDERER AND YOU CAN SEE THE MORPHOUS THERE IT'S AN ORANGE OR PEACH.
UM, IT HAD ABOUT A FOOT RADIUS OF INFLUENCE WHERE IT WAS PULLING THE AFFLUENT TSS AND WE THOUGHT, WELL, LET'S MEASURE THE TSS NOW AND SEE IF IT WORSENS.
I MEAN, IS THIS REALLY NOT GOOD? AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE RESULTS THAT IT WAS STILL LOWER FOR THE SEL CLARIFIER, THIS, UH, SEL CLARIFIER HAS BEEN OPERATING FOR THREE YEARS NOW, THE OPERATOR, UM, YOU, WE CAN ARRANGE FOR YOU TO CALL HIM ALSO.
UM, HE HAS NOT HAD TO TOUCH THEM ONCE IN TERMS OF MAINTENANCE, UH, IN TERMS OF CLEANING AND THEIR EFFLUENT QUALITY.
I CAN SHOW YOU MORE DATA POINTS, UH, CONTINUED TO BE BETTER THAN THE TRADITIONAL CLARIFIERS.
SO, UM, WE FOUGHT, HEY, WHY DON'T WE MAKE THIS A LITTLE BIT BETTER SYSTEM? AND WE CAME UP WITH THE SWEEPER AND WE MAKE THIS OUT OF ALUMINUM.
UM, IT HAS TWO ROWS OF NEOPRENE.
UH, THEY'RE STAGGERED, IT'S LIKE A CARWASH METHOD.
AND WE HAVE SPRING STAINLESS AT THE LAST 18 INCHES WHERE IT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE, UH, VERTICAL PLATE OF THE UPPER PANEL.
AND I MEAN, NO CIRCULAR TANK IS CONCENTRIC.
UH, SO THAT'S WHY WE DID THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS, UH, CLEAN EFFECTIVELY, BUT ALSO WE VIEWED IT AS LIKE A RAKE ARM ON THE FLOOR OF A CLARIFIER THAT IT CAN MOVE THOSE SOLIDS, THAT AREN'T GOING IN THE ORIFICE AND GET THEM TO GO BACK INWARDLY AND RESETTLE.
AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY THE EFFLUENT QUALITY IS CONSISTENTLY BETTER AS WELL.
UM, CLICK IT ONE MORE TIME AND THEN ONE MORE TIME AND ONE MORE TIME, AND WE SEE JUST KIND OF MORE OF AN UP CLOSE VIEW.
YOU COULD SEE THE BAND, UH, IN THE SPRING STAINLESS SPRING STAINLESS, I THINK YOU CAN
[01:20:01]
BEND IT A MILLION TIMES AND IT WOULD FINALLY MY B SHOW SOME YIELDS, UH, TO THE MATERIAL, BUT IT WILL GO RIGHT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION.NOT LIKE A PLASTIC COMB, BUT AFTER A WHILE IT STARTS LOSING, UM, IT'S FORMED, UH, NEXT SLIDE.
UM, THIS ACTUALLY IS NOW GOING UNDERNEATH THE SCUM BOX.
UM, AND THIS WON'T BE IN THE CASE OF A TRAVELING BRIDGE CLARIFIER, CAUSE YOU HAVE IT AT THE END SO WE CAN JUST KEEP GOING.
BUT WE WANTED TO SHOW THAT WE KEPT, UM, INNOVATING, UM, THROUGH THE PROCESS TO MAKE IT BETTER.
SO NOW THE LAST LIGHT IS THE ULTIMATE CLARIFIER EXPERIENCE.
SEE IF YOU CAN GET THE FIRST PHOTO WOULD COME UP THERE.
OH, MAYBE WE WENT TOO FAR THERE, GO BACK UP UNTIL WE SEE THE, THE CONCRETE, THERE WE GO.
UM, TO PUT IN A CONCRETE LAUNDER, IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST TWO WEEKS JUST TO PUT THE FORMS TOGETHER AND THEN IT'S ANOTHER TWO WEEKS TO POUR AND TO HAVE IT CURE.
AND THAT DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INCREMENTAL, WET WEATHER, WHICH WOULD, WHICH WOULD SLOW THAT PROCESS DOWN.
UM, ONE THIRD, THE SECTIONS HALF THE ANCHORS AND FASTENERS 50% REDUCED INSTALLATION COSTS EQUAL OR LOWER VELOCITIES.
JUST KEEP ON GOING THROUGH THOSE BULLET POINTS YET LONGER PART PARTICLE PATHS.
NOW STOP RIGHT THERE ON THE BETTER EFFLUENT AND YOU CAN SEE THEY TOOK DATA.
UM, THE OPERATORS AT SITES FREE ALL THE WAY TILL SEPTEMBER, AND IT CONTINUED TO HAVE LOWER EFFLUENT QUALITY, UM, OR BETTER EFFLUENT QUALITY, UM, ALL COMPONENTS UNDER THE WATER, UH, SAFE.
UH, YOU'LL SEE THE X WITH THE GUY THERE AND LOW MAINTENANCE.
SAFE, UH, LOW MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE, UH, FULL SURFACE AREAS, SKINNING MORE FORGIVING AT PEAK FOES AND SOLVES CAN OVERFLOW, UH, WE'RE AT THE SOLID STONE GOING A HOLE.
UH, THEY DON'T CONTRIBUTE TO THE EFFLUENT QUALITY.
UM, SO WHAT DID WE DO? LAST SLIDE, INCREASED SAFETY, INCREASED QUALITY, FASTER INSTALLATION AND LOWER TOTAL INSTALLED COST VM.
THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS DOING IT.
UM, BUT HOPEFULLY, UH, YOU WERE ABLE TO GET THE MAJOR ASPECTS.
THE OVERVIEW OF THE SUMMARY SHOPS WILL MODERATE AND THE BENEFITS OF HAVING IT IN WITH YOUR SYSTEM.
I THINK THEY'D BE MAD IF I ASKED THEMSELVES JUST BE QUIET RIG.
YOU GOT SOME NOT, NOT ON THE PRESENTATION.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION? WHERE ARE WE GOING WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION IS TO SWAP FROM THE HYDRAULIC CRISIS.
SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE SPOTTED OUT.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY TO S TO UPGRADE FROM THE HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM THAT'S ON THE EXISTING CLARIFIER.
UPGRADE THAT TO A LINE SHAFT DRIVE SYSTEM MAKES IT MORE RELIABLE FOR TRAVEL, LESS MAINTENANCE COSTS, AND ALSO ELIMINATE THE TROUGHS THAT ARE, I THINK COREY SHOWED SOME PICTURES OF THAT, THAT THEY'RE ROTTING OUT THAT GALVANIZES GANDER, CAROTID STIR.
THEY'RE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR CLEANING TO ELIMINATE THOSE AND REPLACE THAT WITH THE SEL SYSTEM THAT YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT.
THAT'S THE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE THAT'S BEEN RECOMMENDED OUR UPGRADE TO THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S THERE.
I DIDN'T COULDN'T QUITE FOLLOW HIS.
DOES THAT GO WITHIN OUR CURRENT TANK OR IS THAT ANOTHER TANK? OKAY, SO GO IN YOUR EXISTING TANK SO THAT YOU DON'T, YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT POURING ANY NEW CONCRETE TANK.
IT'S AN UPGRADE OF THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT.
THAT'S AT THE PLANT FOR THAT, FOR THAT BASIN.
IT TAKES ALL OF THE RUSTED LAUDER'S AND V NOTCH IS OUT AND EVERYBODY WHO'S VISITED.
THE PLANT HAS OBSERVED EVERYTHING THAT'S RUNNING AND RUSTING UP THERE WITH ALL THE ALGAE, ALL THAT GOES AWAY.
IT GOES TO THE SEL SYSTEM AND THOSE LADDERS ARE UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE WATER BY 18 INCHES.
AND THEY WON'T RUST THEY'RE PLASTIC.
WE'VE GOT THE ORIFICE TO CONTROL THE FLOW.
SO WE'VE GOT CONSTANT PRESSURE IN THERE.
UH, I HAVE OPERATED PROBABLY 20, 20 PLUS
[01:25:01]
DIFFERENT PLANTS IN MY LIFETIME OR MY WORK EXPERIENCE.THERE'S NOT ONE PLANT THAT WOULDN'T BENEFIT FROM THIS KIND OF A IMPROVEMENT.
THE ORIGINAL THRUST OF THIS, THIS PROGRAM WAS TO CORRECT THE, UM, THE TRAVELING BRIDGE.
AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH CHANGING THE ELECTRIC MOTORS, CHANGING THE POWERBAR, CHANGING, UH, ANYTHING, EVERYTHING IS, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT WORE OUT ALL THE LIMITS SWITCH TO THE CONTROLS.
THE SECONDARY PART IS THIS LAUDER SYSTEM THAT IS BELOW THE SURFACE, AND THEY TALK ABOUT THE TSS, THE TSS THAT WE PASS OVER THE WEIR THAT GREATLY AFFECTS OUR ABILITY TO SUPPLY WATER TO THE LAKE.
AND SO WHEN WE HAVE A HIGH TSS, WE HAVE TO SHUT THE WATER SUPPLY OFF TO THE LAKE WITH THE NUMBERS THAT ARE SHOWING, IT LOOKS LIKE WE WOULD BE WEIGHED ON THE VERY BOTTOM.
SO IT WOULD BE A GREAT BENEFIT TO OUR, OUR WATER SUPPLY TO THE LAKE BY REDUCING THE TSS, AND ALSO HELPS WITH OUR PERMIT.
NOT THAT WE HAVE MUCH TROUBLE WITH OPERATOR AND THE, AND THE, UH, THE SIZE OF THE CAPACITY ALL AROUND.
I THINK WE'RE, WE'LL BE SAVING MONEY ON THE MAINTENANCE.
ONCE WE SPEND THE MONEY ON A TOTAL REHAB OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT'S INSIDE THAT CHAMBER, THE ACTUAL CHAMBER STAYS THE SAME AS THEY SAID EARLIER, IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE PROCESS.
WE'RE JUST BRINGING IT UP TO A MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY.
AND I REALLY LIKED THE LIBERALIZING, THE EXISTING BRIDGE, THE SUPERSTRUCTURE, THE SUPERSTRUCTURE, THE, THE TRUCK MOTORS, THEY'LL ALL COME OFF AND BE REPLACED WITH THE ELECTRIC DRIVE.
IT'S ALL GOING THE SAME SPEED.
NOW, WHAT WE DID MENTION WAS EVERY TIME THAT THAT, THAT SENSOR PASSES OVER THE BRIDGE PASSES OVER THE SENSORS, IT'S GOING TO ACTUATE THE WASTING MECHANISM WHEN IT GETS TO THE END OF THE TRACK.
IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY CHECK AND IT CHECKS PICTURE IT'S REALIGNED WHEN IT GETS TO BOTH ENDS.
SO EVERY TIME THAT BRIDGE MOVES FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER IS CHECKING ITSELF FOR ALIGNMENT.
IT'S THE BEST DEAL WE COULD POSSIBLY GET.
WELL, DOESN'T IRIS DO THAT NOW WHEN IT HITS THE END.
OH, I THOUGHT IT KIND OF KIND OF CRABS ITS WAY DOWN THE TRACK.
WHAT'S THE, IF WE GO WITH THE, BOTH OF THESE, UM, UPGRADES, WHAT'S THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THEM.
UM, TYPICALLY THE, UH, DESIGN LIFESPAN OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF 20 TO 25 YEARS, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOUR PLANT WAS DESIGNED FOR 20 TO 25 YEARS.
IT'S BEEN RUNNING, PUSHING 40.
SO IS THAT INCLUDE THE SEL SYSTEM AT UNDERGROUND UNDERWATER SYSTEM? YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT SAME KIND OF LIGHT JOHN WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE PROJECTED LIFE SPAN OF SEL.
THE FACT THAT THE, UH, ALL THE, UH, FRP COMPONENTS ARE UNDERWATER, IT WILL EXTEND THE LIFE EVEN FURTHER THAN A NORMAL FRP APPLICATIONS.
AND BECAUSE THERE'S NOT, UM, AS MUCH ALGAE AROUND LIKE THE FASTENERS, ET CETERA, UM, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE CORRODING THOSE FASTENERS AND CAUSING, YOU KNOW, THESE STRUCTURES TO FINALLY FAIL.
I MEAN, BRANDON, WE'VE BEEN AT PLANTS IN TEXAS.
UM, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO REFER SOME OF THEM, BUT THOSE WATERS ALSO ARE FALLING IN IT.
AND A LOT OF IT'S, FASTERS JUST CORRODING AND IT'S, IT'S SNORE.
IT'S NORMALLY THE AIR WATER INTERFACE IS WHERE YOU SEE RUST HERE.
YOU DON'T HAVE AIR WATER INTERFACE.
IT'S ALL UNDER THE WATER WITH THE SEL AND IT'S 18 INCHES BELOW THE SURFACE.
SO IT REALLY PREVENTS THE UV LIGHT FROM ATTACKING ANYTHING ELSE DOWN THERE.
[01:30:04]
YES, SIR.SO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY NOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN RFP, BASICALLY COULD DO, IS WE COULD ASK FOR A PROPOSAL THAT INCLUDES DETAILS AND SCOPE ALONG WITH COST LONG COST.
YEAH, AND I, I SEE US MOVING FORWARD WITH REQUESTING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE, THE ENGINEERS HERE AND THAT WOULD, UH, DELINEATE THE SCOPE OF DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS OF THE REHABILITATION.
AND WE WOULD WANT THIS TO BE INCLUDING THE BIDDING PROCESS AND ALSO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AS, AS PART OF IT THEREAFTER, THE FIRST SECTION WOULD BE THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN AND BIDDING YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.
SO IF COUNCIL WANTS, AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR NODS HERE, AND WE CAN ASK THEM TO GO AHEAD AND SUBMIT IT TO THE FULL-ON PROPOSAL TO GO THROUGH DESIGN BID AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE, UH, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
WE'LL HAVE TORY, CORY, TAKE A LOOK AT IT AS WELL, UH, GET OUR COMFORTABLE LEVEL WITH IT.
AND THEN WE CAN ACTUALLY PUT IT ON AN AGENDA WHEN IT'S TIME.
AND THAT THE PROPOSAL WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR THEIR BLESSING AND APPROVAL.
AND ONCE THEY'RE ENGAGED WE'RE WHAT DID YOU GUYS SAY? SIX MONTHS? YEAH.
DOES THAT INCLUDE, I INCLUDE DESIGN BID AND CONSTRUCTION, OR IS THAT JUST YOUR DESIGN AND BED JUST DESIGN, RIGHT.
I CAN MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF.
THE ONE THING WE WERE JUST ABOUT WE'RE, WE'VE ORDERED NEW, A NEW SET OF WHEELS FOR THE EXISTING BRIDGE.
THEY WERE A 10 WEEK LEAD TIME.
THEY LAST ABOUT A YEAR WITH A CURRENT CONDITION.
UM, SO WE WOULD HAVE TO MOVE FAIRLY QUICKLY ON THAT.
THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IS LEAD TIME ON COMPONENTS.
WE CAN HAVE AS MANY AS 10 TO 16 WEEKS ON CERTAIN COMPONENTS.
SO I'VE SUGGESTED THAT ONCE, ONCE WE GET THE PROJECT IS AWARDED THAT WE GET THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AND GET THINGS ORDERED AWAY IN ADVANCE OF WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING SHOULD BE NO, NO HOLDOUTS FOR DELAY AND MATERIAL, ET CETERA.
THIS POINT WHERE OFFICIALLY NEEDED TO REQUEST A WHATEVER IT IS.
HE SAID, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH A PROPOSAL DESIGN DESIGN, BID, AND CONSTRUCTION.
WE WOULD ONLY PAY FOR WHAT WAS COMPLETED.
WELL, COUNCIL'S HAPPY WITH THAT.
WE'RE ASKING FOR WHEN WE GET IT, HOW DO WE, WE, WE ASK FOR IT.
AND AS SOON AS I'VE ALREADY ASKED TWICE, I THINK THEY HAVE THEIR DIRECTION THERE.
WHEN WOULD WE EXPECT THAT GENTLEMEN AND THEN DOCUMENT, BUT OUR TYPICAL FRONT-END CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, OR WE CAN DO A VIVA, CAN PROVIDE US BEGS AND DRAWINGS AND THE DESIGN.
YOU CAN COMBINE THAT WITH RICK.
DO YOU WANT TO REVIEW THE SUBMITTALS TWO MONTHS AFTER, SORRY, I CAN, THIS IS NOT MY WORLD.
I MEAN, ULTIMATELY FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, YOU GUYS ARE PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH THE PLAN.
ALTHOUGH OBVIOUSLY IF YOU NEED MORE ACCESS TO IT, YOU CAN COME BACK OUT, TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU NEED.
BUT ULTIMATELY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A PROPOSAL THAT GOES AHEAD AND BREAKS UP YOUR SERVICES IN THOSE THREE PHASES.
SO WE GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT THAT DESIGN PHASE BID PHASE, THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE.
UM, ANYTHING YOU GUYS NEED FROM US, YOU CAN LET US KNOW.
WE DON'T HAVE A STANDARD BID PACKAGE FOR YOU GUYS TO LOOK AT.
SO THIS IS REALLY JUST A PROPOSAL FROM YOU GUYS TO SHOW US COSTS WHAT I WOULD REQUEST FROM YOU GUYS OR, OR HOPE YOU GUYS CAN GIVE US AS SOME KIND OF AN COST OF CONSTRUCTION ALONG WITH, UH, AS A PART OF YOUR PROPOSAL.
[01:35:01]
SO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE WORKING WITH.UH, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT WE CAN BUDGET FOR THIS.
HAVE WE ASKED ANYTHING THAT'S CAUSING YOU HEARTBURN? NOPE.
WHICH WOULD BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR GETTING SOMETHING BACK THEN? YES, SIR.
WELL ROD KNOWS THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS NOW FOR YEARS, SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE IT AND DON'T BLOW IT.
I THINK, I THINK WE'VE BEEN OUT HERE LOOKING AT THINGS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
SO YEAH, I THINK THIS IS A VERY GOOD PLAN BECAUSE IT'S A COMPLETE REBOOT REHABILITATION OF THE TRAVELING BRIDGE, THE BONUSES, THE LADDERS, THE OTHER BONUSES.
WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE TCEQ AND CHANGE YOUR PERMIT.
CAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE DONE THAT RIGHT WITH THE CLARIFIERS.
AND THAT'S JUST, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, MAKE SHIFTS SHIFT AND WE'RE GOING TO UPGRADE NOT ONLY THE DRIVE SYSTEM, BUT ALSO THE SCLS EDIT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT TRAVELING BRIDGE IS GOING TO BE REMOVED AND UPGRADED.
IT IS A COMPLETE REHABILITATION.
WHEN WE GET IT DRAINED, WE'RE GOING TO INSPECT THE TEETER-TOTTER.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT NEW NEW SWEEPERS, AT LEAST ON THE BOTTOM AND CHECK ALL THE BEARINGS, ET CETERA.
WELL, THAT'LL ALL BE INCLUDED IN THE PUZZLE, RIGHT? YES, SIR.
WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM G EXCUSE ME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MARY COUNCIL.
UM, COREY, COULD YOU JUST ONE SECOND.
