Forest Creek Edgewater Pump Station

Ardurra delivered engineering services for the Edgewater Pump Station, a strategic public-private partnership that is creating regional wastewater infrastructure serving proposed residential development, a new elementary school, existing developments, and future growth areas. The partnership approach maximized infrastructure efficiency while supporting coordinated community development in the Forest Creek area.

The team provided complete project lifecycle services, including survey, wetlands delineation, design, permitting, and construction oversight for the 189,420 GPD pump station with extensive collection system infrastructure. Strategic analysis included cost-effectiveness evaluation of phased construction approaches, accommodation of variable school construction schedules, and updates to the CFPUA hydraulic model to assess existing infrastructure capacity.

Key Project Highlights:

• Designed 189,420 GPD regional pump station serving proposed residential development, elementary school, and existing communities through private/public partnership

• Installed 3,350 LF of 8-inch force main connecting to existing CFPUA infrastructure for seamless regional integration

• Constructed a comprehensive gravity collection system, including 780 LF of 8-inch and 2,100 LF of 10-inch gravity sewer serving multiple developments

• Evaluated phased construction cost-effectiveness, accommodating variable school construction timeline and development sequencing

• Updated the CFPUA hydraulic model, analyzing 12-inch force main capacity on Porters Neck Road for system optimization

• Executed specialized construction techniques, including NCDOT bore and jack, plus residential bore and jack between houses

• Provided complete environmental services, including wetlands delineation and comprehensive permitting coordination

The successful partnership model demonstrates innovative approaches to regional infrastructure development and supports coordinated growth management. Strategic phasing analysis and hydraulic modeling ensured optimal system integration, accommodating diverse development timelines and community needs.
