Decatur Utilities Mallard Fox Lift Station

The Challenge

The Decatur Utilities Mallard Fox Lift Station serves the Mallard Fox Creek Industrial Park, a 1,000-acre industrial site in Decatur, Alabama. To accommodate near-term expansion and future build-outs of the park, Decatur Utilities needed to expand the existing pump station’s capacity beyond 3.7 million gallons per day.

The Solution

Barge Design Solutions provided three expansion alternatives to the client: (1) expand the existing pump station, (2) upgrade the existing facility and construct a second station to operate in parallel, and (3) abandon the existing facility and construct a new station. The company then worked with Decatur Utilities to select the best long-term solution, and it was decided to build a new pump station to replace the current one. This new pump station more than quadruples capacity with 13.5 million gallons per day.

The Barge team's successful expansion of the Mallard Fox Pump Station demonstrates their expertise in wastewater infrastructure planning and design. Their ability to assess the client's needs, evaluate alternative solutions, and deliver a cost-effective and sustainable project has contributed to the long-term success of the Mallard Fox Creek Industrial Park.
