<br />50 mgd desalination plant in the City of Carlsbad. Pipeline diameter is
<br />54-inch welded steel pipeline operating at a maximum pressure of 500 psi. The pipeline is routed
<br />through the cities of Carlsbad, San Marcos, and Vista. The electrical design included designing power
<br />for cathodic protection system at multiple locations, designing power, control and instrumentation for
<br />large flow control facility and underground turnouts.
<br />Mid -Basin Injection: Centennial Park Design Services, Orange County Water District, Fountain
<br />CA Four injection wells are included in this project and will be constructed below ground vaults.
<br />Wells are proposed to inject 12 MGD of GWRS water into the principal groundwater aquifer
<br />approximately 1,200 feet below ground surface. Submersible backflush pumps will be installed within
<br />the injection wells. Electrical Engineer responsible for designing two shared facilities' power distribution,
<br />injection well's instrumentation and control, communication with the other sites and headquarters.
<br />Long Beach 8 Valve Improvement, Electrical Power Svstem Upgrade. Long Beach Water
<br />Department, Long Beach, CA. Tetra Tech provided full service Construction Management Services
<br />for the Long Beach Water Department during construction for Long Beach Valve 8 Improvement
<br />Project. Work involved connection to the MWD pipeline at the Long Beach Valve 8 project sites just
<br />east of the intersection of Wardlow Road and Cherry Avenue complete with pipeline replacements and
<br />electrical and instrumentation upgrades. Mr. Kassar provided electrical and SCADA assistance during
<br />startup of the facility.
<br />SJVWB-ERRP Phase 1 Well Equipping and Treatment Facilities Preliminary Desian. Eastern
<br />Municipal Water District, San Jacinto, CA. Supervising the electrical design for a project that
<br />includes preparation of a Preliminary Design Report with an evaluation of the pipeline corridors from
<br />four wells to a central treatment plant, review of treatment technology for iron and manganese removal,
<br />disinfection using chloramines, booster pump station and reservoir and well equipping evaluation.
<br />Preliminary design drawings will be prepared to a 30% design level that addresses the civil site,
<br />mechanical, process, electrical and instrumentation components of the treatment and blending facility,
<br />site work and pipeline plan and profile sheets. Project field work will consist of a geotechnical
<br />investigation of the well sites, treatment plant and pipeline corridors, aerial and ground survey,
<br />potholing and corrosion analysis.
