Methuen Construction was the General Contractor on this project to upgrade the Rogers Street Pump Station in Billerica, MA, which included the installation of three new 100 HP wastewater pumps, each with capacities of 10.4 MGD. 

Critical to the successful completion of this project was keeping the station up and running at all times.  Demolition of the existing sluice gates, pumps, and installation of new equipment had to be carefully coordinated to ensure that there was no interruption of service and that two pumps were always available.  Along with the new pumping equipment, the instrumentation and controls of the pump station were upgraded to include new VFD’s (variable-frequency drives), wet level monitoring, SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system and an electric distribution system.

Additionally, a new odor control system was installed as part of the upgrade.
