Recker Transfer
Station
Mesa,
Arizona
Dibble provided comprehensive
engineering services to evaluate and design
rehabilitation improvements to the Recker
Transfer Station TS-2.
Under normal operating
conditions, the City transfers water from
the Central Arizona Project (CAP) water treatment
plant to the lower Falcon Field pressure zone
by gravity flow through a 48-inch water transmission
main located in Brown Road. During periods
when the CAP treatment plant is off-line,
water is pumped from the Falcon Field zone
to the CAP plant reservoirs for distribution
(reverse flow). The Recker Transfer Station
TS-2 is an inline pumping station that boosts
pressure during the reverse flow operations.
Due to this operating scenario,
the booster pump station has seen limited
service since its construction in 1985. Dibble
evaluated the condition of the existing equipment
and recommended rehabilitative improvements
to enhance equipment life and improve station
reliability. Based on this evaluation, equipment
repair and/or replacement construction plans
and specifications were developed.
