S-191A Pump Station
Construction Management
Location: Okeechobee, FL
Owner: South Florida Water Management District
Status: Completed
Construction Cost: $31.5 Million
The Project
The South Florida Water Management District sought to build a new pump station at the northeastern edge of Lake Okeechobee. The S-191A Pump Station is a key component of the Northern Everglades and Estuaries Protection Program and will improve water quality flowing into Lake Okeechobee.
Erdman Anthony was selected to provide full-time inspection and construction management services for the project.
Features/Solutions
The S-191A Pump Station serves a dual purpose, providing for flood control in the L-47 basin and providing SFWMD with the ability to control the amount of water being treated in the Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area (STA).
The pump station includes:
• Four submersible electrical pumps (150 cfs each)
• Trash rakes
• Emergency generators
Sustainable Design Impact
This pump station provides flood control, manages the amount of stormwater to be treated, and helps reduce the amount of phosphorous that reaches the Everglades’ ecosystem.
