SRB and Woolpert to Provide Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey Services for Oklahoma City Suburb

WARR ACRES, Okla., May 17, 2024 — (PRNewswire) —

The contract will help update the city's aging sewer system and prevent future sewer overflows.

WARR ACRES, Okla., May 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The city of Warr Acres, Okla. has contracted Smith Roberts Baldischwiler ( SRB) and Woolpert to provide sanitary sewer evaluation survey services to update its existing sewer system and prevent future sewer overflows. The city's sanitary sewer system was primarily constructed between the late 1950s and the 1980s, and many of the existing pipes and manholes have reached the end of their planned service life.

"The city has experienced overflows in some areas, and this investigation will help identify problem areas and what is causing these issues."

SRB Project Manager Amanda Way said that the SSES will provide a comprehensive investigation of the Warr Acres sanitary sewer system using a closed-circuit television camera to inspect approximately 100,000 linear feet of pipe. Additionally, SRB and Woolpert will investigate approximately 900 manholes and perform roughly 240,000 linear feet of smoke testing. The project is fully funded by American Rescue Plan Act funds.

"The city has experienced overflows in some areas, and this investigation will help identify problem areas and what is causing these issues," Way said. "The cleaning will help remove years of dirt, grease, and debris that have gotten into the system, while smoke testing will help identify where there may be leaks that allow for inflow into the system."

Woolpert Vice President Carla Muscarella said that this effort will provide a comprehensive condition assessment of the city's sewer system and establish a baseline that will be used to develop prioritized rehabilitation recommendations for Warr Acres.

"It is always exciting to be an integral part of a project from the initial data collection through the final recommendations for our clients," Muscarella said. "Our partnership with SRB has allowed both our firms to expand our service offerings in Oklahoma and the Midwest."

This contract is underway.
