Leo J. Vander Lands Water Treatment Facility Calcium Chloride Bulk Storage Expansion

Water Replenishment District

Construction Management/Inspection

*Completed 2021

AKM provided construction management and inspection services for the Calcium Chloride Bulk Storage Expansion Project at the Leo J. Vander Lans Advanced Water Treatment Facility (LVLAWTF). The project involved expanding the existing chemical storage system by adding a new 5,000-gallon high-density polyethylene calcium chloride tank, doubling the total storage capacity to 10,000 gallons. Work included demolition and clearing of the proposed installation area, relocation of an existing RO pilot system, and termination of associated piping, conduit, and wiring. Existing utilities were potholed to confirm space and connections for new electrical components. The project also required construction of a steel-framed canopy and roof, a reinforced concrete slab with a corrosion-resistant containment wall, and new double-containment chemical piping, including a fill station and connection to the existing metering system. Electrical improvements and instrumentation were installed, and all new components were successfully integrated with the facility’s existing SCADA system.
