Green recycled material component wet well

摘要

A wet well design that utilizes recycled material in sectional components to construct wet wells on site is disclosed. Traditional wet well components are made of pre-cast concrete. Green Recycled Material Component Wet Well components are constructed using recycled plastic, recycled steel and recycled Styrofoam. The method described herein for constructing the components and assembling the wet well on site addresses several logistical problems associated with the pre-cast concrete design including reducing project start to completion time, delivery costs, large crane rental costs and power line relocation costs. This design also enables construction of oblong wet wells in medians and other restricted areas as components can be straight or curved sections. Finally, this design eliminates the shifting of traditional cement well components due to uplift from underground water pressure through the use of a new anchoring system. Shifting can result in groundwater intrusion into the well.

主权项

1. A circular or oblong green wastewater pump station wet well comprising:
modular cylindrical sections stacked to form predetermined well depths, the modular cylindrical sections further comprising identical top and bottom frames made of recycled plastic with an inner diameter equal to the desired wet well diameter, walls comprising vertical members constructed from recycled PVC materials, expanded polystyrene foam space refill that fills the space between the vertical members, connecting angle that connect the vertical members to the top and bottom frames and module stacking connecting bolts that connect the top module frames to vertically stacked bottom module frames, the vertical members having layers of wire mesh reinforcement attached to the inner and outer vertical member surface, the inner vertical member surfaces having stucco, stainless steel or galvanized sheet metal coverings and the outside surfaces covered by stucco; wet well top and bottom slabs enclosing the wet well walls formed by the stacked modular cylindrical sections; and at least 3 mechanical ground anchoring system secured to at least the top modular cylindrical sections to resist buoyant forces on the wet well.
