C1.03 - San Marcos Wastewater Force Main
Force main from lift station to San Marcos WWTP
Sponsor: Freese and Nichols
Student Team: Cameron Saunders, Raul Torres, Ethan Williams
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Felipe Gutierrez
Due to the increasing population in San Marcos Texas, there is a need to improve the conveyance of wastewater in the surrounding developments to the city’s wastewater treatment plant. We are tasked by Freese and Nichols to design a wastewater force main to operate with an existing 6 MGD lift station with considerations regarding alignment such as TxDOT and county right of way, private land parcels, permitting and regulations, and environmental factors. The selection of material and pipeline size will be based on flow capacity, durability, cost, city and state regulations, and a surge analysis. Our design will ensure a reliable and cost-effective force main that enhances the City of San Marcos wastewater infrastructure and supports future growth.
