Scope of Work

Caliagua’s work on the 3 Bridges Benson Avenue Sewer Line Project consisted of furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to construct a new sewer pipeline system and associated improvements. Key elements included:

• Installation of a new precast sewer lift station complete with duplex pumps, controls, emergency overflow structure, forcemain piping, and gravity sewer lines.
• Construction of new manholes, service connections, and appurtenances to integrate the new facilities into the existing wastewater collection system.
• Execution of gravity sewer line installation in the center of a busy boulevard, utilizing a specialized boring subcontractor to minimize surface disruption.
• Implementation of bypass pumping and flow control measures to maintain uninterrupted sewer service during construction.
• Coordination of traffic control and surface restoration, including asphalt pavement replacement, concrete improvements, and restoration of all disturbed areas to pre-construction condition.
• Completion of pressure testing, video inspection, and system startup to ensure compliance with District requirements and full operational reliability.

Community Benefit

The 3 Bridges Benson Avenue Sewer Line Project delivered critical upgrades to the community’s wastewater collection system. By constructing a new lift station, installing forcemain and gravity sewer lines, and expanding supporting infrastructure, the project increased system capacity, reduced the risk of sanitary sewer overflows, and enhanced overall reliability of service.

These improvements ensure the safe and efficient conveyance of wastewater, protecting both public health and the environment. The added capacity also supports anticipated community growth and development in the service area. Finally, careful traffic management and roadway restoration helped minimize disruption to residents and businesses during construction.
