The electrical upgrade at the Belmont and Southport Advanced Wastewater Treatment plant required replacement of multiple components. While this project was not a pleasant working environment due to the nature of the plant, the ERMCO employees led by Project Manager, Dan Fritsch and Foreman, Ken Alsup, continued to provide quality and efficient work while being flexible with the owner’s needs. Owner representative Ace Mehta said “They showed good understanding of the project and safety practices. Best of all, I was impressed with their positive attitudes and high degree of cooperation.”

ERMCO’s work on the project included the replacement of the existing 5 feeder bus duct runs with a conduit and cable installation at the Belmont Headwork’s building. All new construction was stainless steel and aluminum to resist the hydrogen sulfide in the air given off by the processing of the waste water. The existing 8 feeder bus duct runs at the Belmont and Southport Oxygen Nitrification System Buildings with new aluminum bus duct were also replaced as were all 12 motor control centers at the Belmont and Southport Oxygen Nitrification System Head House buildings with new motor control centers. Another replacement was the Gravity Belt Thickener Building 480 volt switchgear with a new double ended feed, closed transition switch over, switchgear.
