<br />well and booster pump, as well as the new chemical and filtration system. Michael Baker
<br />coordinated with the Districts operations and Integration team to maintain the existing operation
<br />of the well and booster pump.
<br />MWRF High -Lift Pump #3 and Well 11 Motor Bearing Moises Evaluation, Costa Mesa,
<br />California. Mesa Water District, Project Engineer. Michael Baker Is providing professional
<br />engineering services to assist the District in evaluating the motor bearing noise, providing
<br />engineering opinion, and recommendations for the appropriate repair and mitigation on a T&M
<br />basis at two vertical turbine pumps. The services include performing observation of the existing
<br />pumps and motors, evaluation of existing motor and pump data, and provision of engineering
<br />opinion regarding the motor bearing noise potential source and next course of action at the
<br />MWRF High -Lift Pump #3 and Well 11 sites.
<br />Potable Water System Improvements -- LACFD Fire Camp 15, Sylmar, California. Project
<br />Engineer. Responsible for upgrades to Rhe existing aging potable water system at the Los
<br />Angeles County Fire Camp 16 to improve reliability. The upgrades included rehabilitation of the
<br />booster pump station, design of over two miles of 6 -inch force main, rehabilitation of two welded
<br />steel water storage tanks, and electrical upgrades. As Project Engineer, Mr. Falzone was
<br />responsible for completion of engineering calculations and design documents, as well as
<br />communication with project stakeholders. A hydraulic analysis of the existing and future potable
<br />water system was performed during the design. The booster pump station upgrades included
<br />complete replacement of the booster pumps, piping and valves, electrical gear, and a new
<br />control system.
<br />Hyperion Secondary Effluent Pump Station, Los Angeles, California. Project Engineer. Mr.
<br />Falzone performed preliminary design for the Hyperion Secondary Effluent Pumping station
<br />(HSEPS). The HSEPS is a critical facility for West Basin MWD, as it is their sole source of
<br />influent to the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility. Project upgraded pumping capacity
<br />from 45 MGD to 80-120 MGD through a phased approach and modified the existing 60 -inch
<br />diameter, 10,0001- foot long force main. Project highlights include addition of two 800 hp pumps
<br />and two new wet wells, mechanical design, design of deep concrete structures in limited space,
<br />construction sequencing to minimize downtime, electrical upgrades including design of
<br />secondary power source and new medium voltage VFDs, CFD and field analysis of existing and
<br />proposed wet wells, surge analysis of forcemain, instrumentation and control design, traffic
<br />control, and coordination with LACSD and LADWP for work on existing facilities.
<br />Pacific Grove Local Water Project, Pacific Grove, California. Project Engineer. Responsible
<br />for engineering calculations, construction documents, and construction administration for a
<br />250,000 GPD Water Reclamation Facility for the City of Pacific Grove. The WRF consists of an
<br />influent pump station, headworks, complete membrane bio -reactor, UV disinfection, and
<br />rehabilitation of two existing tanks for effluent storage. The WRF was designed with a small
<br />1600 SF footprint, which included the mechanical room, process tanks, headworks, and
<br />electrical room, The project's recycled water and sewer distribution system included pump
<br />stations, force mains, a diversion structure, and gravity sewers to convey water and wastewater
<br />to/from the WRF. Mr. Falzone performed hydraulic analysis to determine layout of the sewer
<br />and recycled water distribution systems, and aided in permitting, construction, and start-up of
<br />the facility.
