Design Tree collaborated with Bolton & Menk on the Carver, MN Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Filter Addition project, delivering a comprehensive range of engineering services. Our team was responsible for the addition of two filter cells, granular activated carbon (GAC) media filters, and chemical feed rooms to the plant. We also retrofitted the electrical service, upgraded the plant generator, and remodeled the entire Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, including a tie-in to the City's existing SCADA framework.

Our scope of work encompassed designing controls, HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical, and structural systems for the building. Throughout the project, the plant remained operational, necessitating a carefully sequenced approach to ensure uninterrupted service. Design Tree provided guidance to the project team and contractor, tailoring our design to accommodate the ongoing operations.

In addition to the new plant features, the project included a remodel of the existing building and the addition of Well #2 with variable frequency drive (VFD) pumps. These pumps allow the City to set flow rates and control water hammer issues within the pipe system. Furthermore, new well houses for Wells #5 and 6 were constructed, featuring controls, SCADA integration with the City's system, stationary generators, and pumps connected to the plant.

Design Tree's multidisciplinary expertise ensured the successful completion of this complex project, demonstrating our capability to deliver high-quality, integrated solutions while maintaining operational continuity. Our ability to manage delicate sequencing and provide innovative design solutions underscores our commitment to excellence and client satisfaction.
