Phoenix Resources Landfill – Leachate Concentrator Installation

Key Accomplishments

• Furnished and installed new reinforced concrete equipment pads and containment walls, including modifications to the existing concrete load-out area to accommodate additional process equipment and drainage systems.
• Installed underground dual-contained high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drain piping, consisting of a 3-inch carrier pipe within a 6-inch containment pipe, extending from the new containment area to an existing manhole.
• JCC furnished and installed new leachate infeed and load-out pumping equipment, including associated valves, fittings, pressure connections, and mechanical accessories.
• Completed installation of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) process piping associated with the leachate infeed system and concentrate handling facilities, incorporating electrical heat tracing and thermal insulation.
• Installed a new 2-inch Schedule 40 carbon steel natural gas supply line serving the concentrator flare system, together with associated valves, supports, and piping connections.
• Coordinated installation of equipment anchor bolts, non-shrink grout, structural supports, and mechanical components associated with the new concentrator equipment and supporting infrastructure.
• JCC managed electrical and instrumentation construction activities, including power supply connections, conduit, wiring, equipment grounding, and electrical service requirements associated with the concentrator and pumping systems.
• Performed equipment foundation preparation, piping installation, pump installation, and electrical construction in coordination with the delivery and placement of owner-furnished equipment.
• Completed construction activities in accordance with Waste Management's site-specific safety requirements and project specifications governing concrete construction, process piping, electrical installations, and mechanical equipment.
• Johnston Construction Company served as Prime Contractor for the Leachate Concentrator Installation Project at Waste Management's Phoenix Resources Landfill in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. Under contract with Phoenix Resources, Inc., JCC undertook a comprehensive construction project involving the installation of a refurbished leachate concentrator system, reinforced concrete equipment foundations, containment structures, process piping, pumping equipment, and associated electrical infrastructure.
• The Project Was Completed On November 14, 2013.
