Wastewater Treatment & Phosphorous Removal
HWC Engineering provided design and construction inspection services for a $2.0 million phosphorus removal project for the 24 MGD wastewater treatment plant in Terre Haute, Indiana.
As a result of new effluent limits imposed on the WWTP by the NPDES permit, HWC also completed a compliance plan to identify the needed facilities. HWC was responsible for the design of the chemical feed system and improvements to the anoxic system for biological phosphorus removal. Work included 30” diameter anoxic piping and tank modifications, as well as the addition of chemical storage tanks, feed pumps, feed piping, and building renovations.
Additionally, HWC provided construction administration assistance, serving as the primary contact with the owner for the State revolving fund to provide project financing.

Additionally, HWC was responsible for the planning and design of the City Center Plaza, which sits within the previous right-of-way of Short Street along Madison Avenue. The project not only improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation, but also highlighted community history in design details and added beautification through special paving, street trees, custom metal features, and ornamental lighting.

Seymour, IN
St. Louis Avenue Streetscape
This plaza and streetscape restored an underutilized public space while highlighting the unique character of Seymour. A custom “Seymour” sign incorporates a stanza allowing visitors to become the exclamation point. A paving band and seat wall mimic the shape of a guitar and black metal music notes double as bike racks. An interactive area allows visitors to create their own sound. HWC worked closely with the city and the local Main Street organization to take the project from conceptual design to a built work space.

Comprehensive Plan
The construction of the Interstate 69 extension is expected to radically change transportation routes and development patterns in Morgan County. As a result, HWC was retained to help the county adapt future land use and transportation plans based on the final roadway configuration. HWC’s plan also included recommendations for changes to local development ordinances, which have since been adopted.

Market Street Plaza and Streetscape
The sidewalk along Market Street was especially wide at this location and was begging to become something more. HWC worked closely with the city to develop a plaza space and streetscape that would recognize the history of the area while providing a contemporary feel. The custom light poles were designed to model attributes of a set of columns constructed during the centennial celebration in 1913. The roof lines of the historic market structure inspired a new arch in the median. The addition of linear wooden picnic-style tables and a simple landscape palette provide just the right amount of functionality and warmth.
