Water Intake Expansion

Project Overview

Engineering Design Services conducted a comprehensive feasibility study to evaluate the expansion of an existing facility’s water intake and purification capacity. The facility’s water purification system was designed to process approximately 600 gallons per minute (GPM). To support future operational demands, the client sought to double the system capacity to 1,200 GPM while maintaining reliable performance and integration with existing infrastructure.

​

EDS evaluated the existing unit layout, available plot space, and tie-in constraints to determine the technical viability of the expansion. As part of the study, EDS developed a preliminary plot plan illustrating the proposed equipment configuration, system routing, and constructability considerations. Multiple expansion scenarios were reviewed to identify the most practical and cost-effective solution.

​

In addition to technical evaluations, EDS prepared order-of-magnitude construction cost estimates to support early project decision-making. These estimates were used to develop a Total Installed Cost (TIC) projection for the proposed expansion. Based on the feasibility study findings, EDS determined the estimated TIC for the project to be approximately $2.02 million.

​

The feasibility study provided the client with a clear understanding of scope, cost, and constructability, enabling informed planning and positioning the project for progression into detailed engineering and execution.
