Wetland Initiative / Hennepin, Illinois

Maurer-Stutz, with subconsultant MEP, partnered with The Wetlands Initiative to upgrade the Dixon Waterfowl Refuge pump station near Hennepin, IL. The project replaced an above-grade propeller pump with a 30,000 gpm submersible pump, and elevated all electrical equipment and a control building to the 500-year flood elevation to ensure operation during high water events.
