Project Complete!

Advanced Excavation has completed a project for Nehalem Bay Wastewater Agency to upgrade the 50-year-old Wheeler North Pump Station and replace 2,831 feet of force main.

The new force main installation is complete. It has been successfully tested and is now in regular use.

Pump station upgrades are complete. The new pump was successfully tested and is now in regular use.

Due to shipping delays, the project was completed the first week of December.

 

Project Overview

The project began at the pump station at the intersection of N 1st St and Ridgeview Ct, then followed the force main north toward the treatment plant. The upgrade improved reliability, safety and public health, as well as accommodated growth and future demands on the sewer system.

The Wheeler North Pump Station (located adjacent to 115 First St) was origianally built in 1975. It pumps wastewater from North Wheeler to the Tideland Road Wastewater Plant. The pump station was upgraded to meet current codes, regulations, and pump station design guidelines. Improvements to the pump station included ground improvements to increase resiliency, and upgrades to equipment.
