Wiley|Wilson recently completed a Sanitary Sewer System Study for the Town of Blacksburg. The first phase evaluated the capacity and condition of the existing sanitary sewer system of the Town of Blacksburg and Virginia Tech and the outfall trunk sewer of the Blacksburg-VPI Sanitation Authority. Wiley|Wilson worked with the Town to develop and calibrate a hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) model of the collection system, and to evaluate system infrastructure conditions, identify system deficiencies and prioritize future system maintenance and capital improvement projects. The second phase utilized the H&H model to identify and prioritize cost-effective strategies to reduce overflows and surcharges in the wastewater collection system. Wiley|Wilson worked with the Town to develop a long-term asset management plan that balanced targeted SSES and rehabilitation projects to reduce RDII with capital improvement projects to expand the collection system in coordination with the Town’s master planning efforts.
