Mesa State will remodel plant to house growing degree programs
Grand Junction Sentinel C
mp3 –>By CASSIE HEWLINGS Monday January 26 2009Leitner-Poma of America’s old manufacturing facility won’t sit vacant for long after the real estate arm of Mesa State College purchased the property as a new home for some of the school’s programs. Mesa State’s mechanical engineering and construction management programs as well as the machine shop currently on the Western Colorado Community College campus will be relocated to the former Leitner-Poma facility 2510 Foresight Circle. The plan is to have this done by fall. The Mesa State Real Estate Foundation completed the purchase of the property which is adjacent to the WCCC campus in December from Leitner-Poma for $4. 75 million and will lease the property to the college under a 10-year lease for $400000 a year. Mesa State President Tim Foster said the majority of the facility is already open warehouse space and will require minimal remodeling to accommodate the programs.

Meeting on the possibility of new power plant
Emery County Progress UT
The site the plant would be located on is presently Bureau of Land Management property and the sequestering site is on Utah State Institutional Trust Lands. California Edison has taken a partner in the sequestering study process by attaching itself to the University of Utah. “We have no detailed engineering yet and there is no permitting done” said Hedrick. “To get this plant on line we have a long way to go. We don’t even have the initial study money yet. But we wanted the community to know what we are doing. According to Hedrick the plant would capture 90 percent of the C2 and would produce a slag like material that is “non-toxic” and could be used in the construction business.
Vergennes-Panton water plant needs $5.2 million upgrade

? Upgrading the plant?s electrical system. The flyer sent out to customers notes that ?spot improvements? could be made to address the most pressing needs but that the board recommends ?a holistic facility upgrade? that would ?prepare the facility for the next 30 to 40 years. ?It also states that final cost and user rates will not be known without ?further consideration of project scope and additional engineering design. ? Jerry and the board are reviewing the study findings with regulators and will pursue all grant possibilities before setting a date for a vote. Then as the flyer concludes ?Upon completion of design cost estimating confirmation of available funding the board will hold informational meetings and have a bond vote. ?By warm weather Jerry said water district customers can probably expect to see meeting and vote notices. ?I would think by summertime we easily should be able to have some sort of public informational meeting? he said.
ACEC/NJ Honors Gannett Fleming Projects in 2009 Engineering …

This project was the first time that hydraulic modeling was applied to simulate water transfer between multiple systems in New Jersey and the first time that this technique was applied to any region of this size throughout the United States. This study resulted in an estimated cost savings of $40 million by eliminating the anticipated need for new infrastructure across the state. New Jersey American Water’s Canal Road Water Treatment Plant expansion project was recognized with an Honor Award in the Water and Wastewater Category. A $50 million design-build project the expansion improved reliability to customers by increasing the facility’s capacity from 60 million gallons per day (mgd) to 80 mgd with provisions for future expansion to 100 mgd. With the goal of providing customers with a supply of safe and dependable drinking water at an economical cost Gannett Fleming’s design solution incorporated technologies that significantly reduced the cost of the expansion. The team developed an innovative design that incorporated the use of high-rate sedimentation technology such as plate settlers and converted the existing surface wash facilities to a more efficient air scour system. This project’s unique historic location required creative planning and an innovative design solution to address the design criteria put in place by the local historic district.
St. Cloud takes steps on water sewer plants
St. Cloud Times MN
Cloud City Council members tonight got the ball rolling on expansions and improvements to the city’s water and sewage treatment plants. 8 million water treatment plant upgrade and $2 million sewage treatment plant expansion. Black and Veatch Corp. will be paid $149000 for services on the sewage treatment plant work which will begin this year and continue through 2011. Black and Veatch and Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services together will receive $1.
