144th St Lift Station & Force Main
Bid was awarded to EPIC Concrete Construction Inc.
Construction began June 2, 2025.
The 144th Lift Station is a planned pump station that will be located along 144th Street just east of Highway 169. With an updated system of gravity sewers, this pump station will collect wastewater from the surrounding area and convey the flow to the wastewater treatment plant by way of the South Force Main. The addition of this pump station, and associated piping, will consolidate the flows from multiple existing pump stations into a single route, allowing Diversified Metal, McDonalds, Platte Valley Bank, and Hills of Shannon pump stations to be decommissioned. This pump station will be sized to allow for additional capacity in the area and will provide the needed capacity to provide for future developments. The construction will include a new lift station, pumps, and a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system.
STATUS:
The Contractor has excavated the area for the Pump Station. Shoring to begin later this week. Contractor will also begin boring HWY 92 and Hwy 169. Plans for the next few months include to begin the installation of the force main from Hwy 92 South to 144th St.
The Pump Station is approximately 45 foot deep. With a wet season it was challenging to keep the excavation dry and safe for the construction crews and additional shoring was erected. The base for the Pump Station is being poured today, Friday, Oct 3 with approximately 140 cubic yards of concrete. The first wall sections of the wet well will be formed and are planned to be poured the week of Oct. 6.
Epic Construction has laid approximately 1000 feet of the 10inch force main south of HWY 92 and will begin boring Hwy 169 and HWY 92 in the next couple weeks.
