Maurer-Stutz, Inc. was hired by the Village of Hopedale to design upgraded process facilities at their wastewater treatment plant due to aging facilities and the need to improve efficiency.  The design included an automated screen facility, an oxidation ditch, a secondary clarifier, enhancements to an existing aerobic treatment system, a variable speed blower, drying beds, an effluent pump station, and a standby generator.  All improvements were designed to fit on the existing Village owned property.  In addition to design services, Maurer-Stutz performed site surveys, preparation of permits, bidding assistance, construction administration services, part-time construction observation, and loan assistance.

Due to high operation and maintenance costs and issues with occasional sanitary sewer overflows, the Village of Creve Coeur decided to consolidate 6 existing lift stations into a single new lift station. Maurer-Stutz, Inc. designed 6600’ of 8” and 12” gravity sewers, 5800’ of 10” force main, and a lift station rated at 1250 gpm. Steep terrain presented challenges for both design and construction. In addition to design services, Maurer-Stutz completed permit applications, prepared easements, assisted with easement negotiations, assisted with bidding, provided construction administration services, performed part-time construction observation, and provided loan assistance.
