Engineering Services for Sewer System Improvements (State Funding), Burnsville, NC

The Town of Burnsville is proposing a critical infrastructure improvement project to modernize and enhance the sewer system serving the Hickory Lane and West Glendale Avenue area. This neighborhood is currently served by undersized 4-inch and 6-inch gravity-fed sewer lines, which have proven inadequate to handle existing flow volumes and have contributed to system inefficiencies and maintenance challenges. 2. To address these issues and ensure compliance with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Qualitys (NC DEQ) minimum design criteria for public sewer conveyance and collection systems, the Town is proposing to replace the existing lines with new 8 inch sewer lines. This upgrade will not only improve hydraulic capacity and system reliability but will also accommodate future growth in the service area. In addition to increasing the line size, the project will utilize ductile iron pipe (DIP), a durable and resilient material designed to withstand shifting soils, heavy loading, and future flooding events. Collectively, these improvements will enhance the long-term functionality and resiliency of Burnsvilles wastewater infrastructure against future major flood events. Engineering services for the Project shall include, but are not limited to, standard tasks necessary for the implementation and administration of the project in conformance with DEQ, federal, and state requirements.
