Project
History/Status :
In May 2006 the engineering firm Walter P. Moore was retained to investigated
the causes of building envelope distress. Their investigation determined that
leakage through building lintels has caused brick ties to erode on the 1954
Chemical and Filter building. Their inspection also found deficiencies with the
roofing, and the concrete facade materials on both the 1916 and 1954 buildings.
Between February 2006 and February 2009
Phases I & II of the Kaw Water Treatment Plant Building Envelope and Roof
Repairs and Rehabilitation have been completed. These projects consisted of the
repair and rehabilitation structural deficiencies in the building exteriors on
the 1916 and 1954 Kaw WTP Buildings. Project tasks included the replacement of
deteriorated and leaking window lintels, repairs to the brick and mortar
building facades including crack repairs, mortar repointing,
replacement of brick ties and the removal and replacement of broken brick.
The current Phase III of the project
consists of the replacement of the roof on the 1916 and ammonia feed buildings;
the rehabilitation and point repairs on the roof of the 1954 building; and the
repair and replacement of deteriorated roof drainage and gutter systems.
In January 2009 a Supplemental Agreement to
the existing Engineering Services Agreement with Walter P. Moore was executed
for design and construction phase engineering services related to the Phase III
roof replacement and repairs. Walter P.
Moore has completed the bidding and construction documents for the project and
the project is ready to advertise for bidding.
