SUPPLYING A FLORIDA CITY'S RAPID GROWTH WITH AWARD-WINNING ION EXCHANGE RESIN PLANT & WATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
The coastal city of Boynton Beach expects to grow to upwards of 140,000 customers by 2035. With much of that growth occurring along the waterfront, coastal aquifers are unable to provide the needed water supply without risking saltwater intrusion. As a result, innovative water system upgrades were required to help the city continue to thrive. With significant water supplies located on the western side of the city, Boynton Beach had the water it needed, but it needed to move that water from inland to the waterfront, treat it, and combine it with the water from the coastal aquifers. Boynton Beach partnered with the design-build firm of CDM Constructors Inc., wholly owned subsidiary to CDM Smith Inc., as the prime contractor, engineer, and design-builder, along with its integral subcontractor Carollo Design-Build Group, a general partnership developed between Carollo Engineers and PCL Construction to deliver progressive design-build projects. The design-build team’s solution took the form of the Ion Exchange Resin Plant using a state-of-the-art MIEX® pretreatment system to help with odor removal and reduce chemical costs.
