Riverbend Environmental Complex

Lakeshore Engineering was a Joint Venture partner for the construction of an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant. The treatment system included headworks, a 150’ diameter circular SBR, filtration, chemical feed systems, solids handling, & disinfection.

​Lakeshore Engineering self-performed the concrete and mechanical scopes of work for the project, placing over 5,000 cubic yards of reinforced concrete. Concrete activities were closely coordinated with other trades, and the completed work received an ACI Award for the State of Georgia.

The new treatment plant was constructed within an existing rendering facility, which introduced significant construction challenges. Leveraging the experience of its management and field teams, Lakeshore developed a 3D model of the existing structure, including openings and existing features, to ensure accurate fit-up of new components.

Lakeshore was responsible for the installation of all treatment process equipment, including mechanical screens, blowers, diffusers, chemical feed systems, large sand filters, plate settlers, a belt press, UV disinfection systems, and SBR equipment. The team also managed the electrical scope of work, integrating existing electrical gear where feasible to power the facility.

Throughout the project, Lakeshore collaborated closely with the Owner and Engineer, applying value engineering and cost-saving strategies to bring the project within budget.
