South Florida Water Management District S-140

The SFWMD S-140 Pump Station is located in Broward County, Florida, approximately 40 miles west of the City of Weston and 40 miles south of the City of Clewiston.
The S-140 Pump Station includes a Controls and Pump Building, three surface water pumps, a gated gravity spillway, a trash raking system, and an on-site fuel system. There is paved access from I-75 and paved access roads/areas within the site.

WGI Structural Solutions Division designed and prepared construction documents for the five primary components of the project: Trash Rake and Bridge Structure at the confluence of the C-60 and the L-28 Canals; replacement of the existing trash rack beam support posts on the upstream side of the pump station; repair and coating of the fuel storage/supply tank containment area; installation of a Generator/Control Building; and Stilling Well catwalks.

WGI provided design, calculations, and construction documents for a 170’ long prestressed concrete service bridge for an automated trash rake. The project included prestressed concrete and steel sheet pile design, concrete pile cap design, bridge superstructure design, design of stainless steel bar screen and bar screen support, and substructure design for trash rack stand, guide rails, and beam. Sheet pile abutments at each end of the bridge were designed to provide scour protection for the approach slab and bridge abutments. Design details were also provided for a reinforced CMU with cast-in-place concrete roof Generator Control Building. During construction, WGI reviewed shop drawings, test result reviews, construction observations, reinforcing steel inspection, pile driving criteria special inspections, and substantial and final inspections. Upon completion, a final certification was provided.
