Sandy City Fluoride Overfeed Investigation
Sandy City, Utah, experienced a fluoride overfeed at one of its drinking water wells in February 2019. HAL investigated the cause, developed a forensic hydraulic model, and prepared the final report.
CWP Wells 8, 9, and 10
HAL was recently selected to design three new deep, large-diameter wells for the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, extending HAL’s role into the next phase of the largest groundwater development project in Utah.
Provo City 4 MG/8 MG Water Tanks and 24″/30″ Pipelines
HAL completed a detailed hydraulic analysis to refine proposed storage locations and piping modifications. Following the analysis, HAL provided engineering services for the design, bidding, and construction of two new storage tanks and transmission pipelines.
CWP High-Head Wells Project
The Central Utah Water Conservancy District contracted HAL to plan, design, and manage a groundwater development project that will supply water to some 160,000 people. The project is the largest of its kind in Utah, with some of the state’s largest and deepest wells.
Kearns Improvement District 5 MG Tank and 30″ Pipeline
HAL helped Kearns Improvement District design and permit a new water tank and pipeline on a busy site while maintaining access, water service, and public acceptance during construction.
South Salt Lake Vulnerability Assessment
HAL performed the Vulnerability Assessment (VA) for all of the City’s water system facilities following the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. The scope of work included assisting with the prioritization of the water system facilities, determination of the Design Basis Threat, evaluation of the consequence for the loss of each facility, evaluation of the effectiveness of the existing protection systems, calculation of the relative risk to each facility, and generation of recommendations to reduce the risk at each facility. Site visits were made to each facility to verify critical assets and existing protection systems.
Granger-Hunter Improvement District Vulnerability Assessment
HAL performed the Vulnerability Assessment (VA) for all of the District’s facilities following the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. The scope included prioritization of all of the facilities, determination of the Design Basis Threat, evaluation of the consequence for the loss of each facility, evaluation of the effectiveness of the existing protection systems, calculation of the relative risk to each facility, and generation of recommendations to reduce the risk at each facility. Site visits were made to each of the District’s facilities to verify critical assets and existing protection systems.
Midvale City Vulnerability Assessment
HAL performed the Vulnerability Assessment (VA) for all of the City’s water system facilities following the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. The scope of work included assisting with the prioritization of the water system facilities, determination of the Design Basis Threat, evaluation of the consequence for the loss of each facility, evaluation of the effectiveness of the existing protection systems, calculation of the relative risk to each facility, and generation of recommendations to reduce the risk at each facility. Site visits were made to each facility to verify critical assets and existing protection systems.
Springville City Vulnerability Assessment
HAL performed the Vulnerability Assessment (VA) for all of the City’s water system facilities following the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. The scope of work included assisting with the prioritization of the water system facilities, determination of the Design Basis Threat, evaluation of the consequence for the loss of each facility, evaluation of the effectiveness of the existing protection systems, calculation of the relative risk to each facility, and generation of recommendations to reduce the risk at each facility. Site visits were made to each facility to verify critical assets and existing protection systems.
Magna Water Company Vulnerability Assessment
HAL performed the Vulnerability Assessment (VA) for all of the Water Company’s water system facilities following the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. The scope of work included assisting with the prioritization of the water system facilities, determination of the Design Basis Threat, evaluation of the consequence for the loss of each facility, evaluation of the effectiveness of the existing protection systems, calculation of the relative risk to each facility, and generation of recommendations to reduce the risk at each facility. Site visits were made to each facility to verify critical assets and existing protection systems.
Magna Water District Groundwater Management Program
HAL assisted Magna Water District with Phase 1 of a Groundwater Management Program to better manage the Barton and Haynes well fields. The study included research and evaluation of historical water quality trends and established prioritized pumping to minimize impact from perchlorate and other water quality challenges. The study also established safe withdrawal rates from the aquifer. Three-dimensional groundwater modeling was used to characterize groundwater flow patterns and predict impacts from pumping alternatives.
Spanish Fork Water Master Plan
HAL completed a major update to Spanish Fork City’s Drinking Water Master Plan. Key technical issues included understanding the City’s multi-zone water distribution system, projecting water demands that consider the long-term effects of drought and conservation, developing innovative approaches to pipe network modeling, and updating the City’s GIS-based water infrastructure database.
Freeway Pump Station
This drinking water project in Draper, Utah, included design and construction of a booster pump station with two 400 horsepower, 1700 gallon-per-minute vertical turbine pumps with pump barrels. The project required geotechnical investigation, hydraulic analysis, transient surge analysis, surge tank design, building design, variable frequency drive design, and a chiller cooling system.
Winder Tank
For Granger-Hunter Improvement District, HAL provided the design of a 4-million-gallon rectangular reinforced concrete storage tank and an 18-inch-diameter inlet/outlet pipeline. The project included permitting, site surveying, geotechnical evaluation, and design of the reservoir, valve vault, piping, and overflow pipeline. It also included electrical design and construction, tying into GHID’s existing SCADA system, and preparing a detailed landscape and irrigation plan to meet local requirements.
