Pinellas Park Interceptor Collection System

Pinellas County seeks professional engineering design services to upgrade and install liners to the existing 42-inch sewer gravity interceptor to strengthen the pipe, seal all potential cracks, minimize the coefficient of pipe friction, and extend its useful life. The County will also construct approximately two miles of 24-inch parallel bypass sanitary sewer force main to capture the excessive flows during wet weather events along Belcher Road from 84th Avenue North to the County’s South Cross Bayou Advanced Water Reclamation Facility. Pinellas County will upgrade the City of Pinellas Park’s sanitary sewer lift station #31 and replace the City’s existing 20-inch force main by approximately 1.10 miles of pipe from 102nd Avenue North to 84th Avenue North, with a new 24-inch force main. In addition, a new sewer flow meter will be installed on the new 24-inch force main parallel to the existing interceptor flow meter. The project protects, preserves, or replaces the County's and City’s existing old and outdated infrastructure that has passed the end of its useful life. The proposed project upgrades will avoid potential emergency pipe breaks, sewer service interruptions, sewer mixing, contamination of water bodies, road depression and traffic impacts.
