Jersey Village Pumping Station

CLIENT: City of Houston, Texas

CONTRACT TYPE: Sub-Contract to Pate Engineers, Inc.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Expansion of Jersey Village Pumping Station to approximately 85,000 gpm (122 mgd).

YEAR COMPLETED: Ongoing

CONSTRUCTION COST: N/A - Study

SCOPE OF WORK: KGI was responsible for performing the pipe stress analysis to evaluate the effect of thermal forces, weight and pressure, restraints, effect of support, anchor and terminal movements on the existing and proposed piping systems. The study was performed to ensure the piping system is adequately supported and anchored for the proposed design conditions.

The Caesar computer program marketed by COADE Engineering Software was used to perform the pipe stress analysis. The study recommendations included type of pipe supports to be used, locations of proposed pipe supports and expected loadings, locations of restraints and expansion joints and expected loads to the pump nozzles.
