This project, located at Salt River Fields, the Spring Training home for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, spanned over two plus years and required extensive coordination with the Major League Baseball teams and the overall facility to accommodate their many annual events. It was our second water treatment facility developed in partnership with MGC and Carollo Engineers. The project involved the construction of a 2.5 million-gallon post-tension concrete reservoir, fully buried beneath a new parking lot. The scope included an indoor booster pump station with three 75 HP vertical turbine pumps, three 200 HP vertical turbine pumps, and a hydro-pneumatic tank system, all located above a 30-foot deep wet well. Additionally, two remote production wells were drilled and equipped.
The project also included the installation of a 4,500 GPM coagulation/filtration arsenic removal system, featuring multiple complex chemical feed systems. Over six miles of offsite water and sewer lines were constructed within the existing right-of-way, along with several road improvements, including the loop road around the Spring Training Facility. The project also connected wet utilities to key surrounding development sites such as the Great Wolf Lodge, Staybridge Hotel, Great Hearts Academy, and Medieval Times. Additionally, a Jack and Bore installation was completed on Via De Ventura under the 101 freeway, allowing for the installation of a 16-inch waterline within an 18-inch steel casing to tie into the Arizona Boardwalk Development, which includes the ODYSEA Aquarium and Butterfly Wonderland. This required close coordination with ADOT to ensure smooth operation and minimal disruption throughout the process.
