Scope Of Work
In Spring of 2019, the City of Sacramento awarded W. M. Lyles Co. the highly debated task of constructing the McKinley Water Vault beneath where the community baseball field sits now. While technically straightforward, this Project includes several difficult constraints that make it very unique. Fortunately, overcoming these types of challenges, which require detailed planning and problem solving, is a specific strength of the W. M. Lyles Co. team.
The McKinley Water Vault Project is a key component to the City’s long-term plan to reduce street and structure flooding during large storm events. During these large storm events, the water flows overwhelm the existing infrastructure, which causes the combined sewer to overflow into the street. At the conclusion of this Project, these large storm flows will be safely contained in the Offline Storage Facility. Once the demand on the combined sewer system subsides, the stored water will be released back into the existing system through the Effluent Return Pump Station at a controlled rate. An odor scrubber will contain and neutralize any odors before they can escape to the environment.
