Scope Of Work
Lystek entered into an agreement with Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) to take ownership of their existing Solids Handling Building and convert/rehabilitate the building into a new 150,000 tons/year sludge processing facility. The facility takes digested sludge from FSSD’s plant, as well as other plants within the Bay Area, and processes it into a liquid form that is usable for agriculture instead of sending it to landfill. W. M. Lyles Co. was contracted on this design-build project to perform various scopes of work for Lystek including:
Demolition and disposal of nearly 200 tons of existing piping and mechanical equipment to make way for the new system.
Installation of a new Receiving Pit structure and metal mezzanine which will receive digested sludge that is trucked from other sewage producing municipalities.
Installation of new conveying equipment which will bring sludge from the Receiving Pit up to the 2nd floor of the Solids Handling Building, over to a new sludge hopper/holding tank, then deposit it into a progressive cavity pump for processing.
Installation of a new Mechanical Building and Drywell structure which will distribute the processed sludge to and from the facility’s storage lagoon and truck fill station.
Other various site improvements and structural/mechanical modifications to adapt the facility to Lystek’s needs.
