36. Superstorm Sandy Spurs NJDOT To Construct Stormwater Pump Stations 3/9/2017

    In 2012 when Superstorm Sandy hit the New Jersey coastline, it devastated Route 35, a critical flood evacuation route, just north of Island Beach State Park. With this critical coastal evacuation route severely compromised, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) took immediate steps to restore safe travel.

37. Safe, Energy Efficient Disinfection For 45 MGD Combined Sewer WWTP Improves Water Quality 2/14/2017

    The Hudson River, in the Capital District of Albany, NY, is a popular recreational area for boating, swimming and fishing. Unfortunately combined sewer overflows following storm events and snow melt from sewer systems dating back to the 1800’s were causing increased fecal coliform counts which in turn resulted in health alerts and limited access to the river. After considering several alternatives, the Albany County Sewer District selected a Wedeco Duron 60i2-2.5X4, with high power Ecoray 600W lamps, for their disinfection system.

38. Clogs Draw a "Get Out of Jail Free" Card 2/13/2017
