Project Spotlight

In 2011, PKG was awarded the third and final phase of intake improvements for the City of Bismarck. The project included construction of an above-grade superstructure, housing a 30MDG pumping system. Project parameters required the building to be susceptible to flooding and ice damage due to its proximity to the river. The building was designed to complement the surrounding river system. The operations floor, designed in the shape of an ellipse, was poured in a single monolithic placement including the concrete haunches. The building is much larger than it appears with a three-story configuration of caisson wet well above the 500-year flood level, pump room, and upper electrical system.
