Geosyntec Participation at WEFTEC 2017
As in previous years, Geosyntec staff will make a significant technical contribution to WEFTEC 2017 in Chicago, Illinois on September 30 - October 4, 2017.
MMI Jointly Chairs and Presents at IMechE CFD Modeling Event
Chris Robinson (England) represents MMI Engineering, a division of Geosyntec, while assisting in organizing and will jointly chair the upcoming one-day event "Multiphase CFD Modeling: State-of-the-art applications and challenges" at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (ImechE), London on May 19, 2016.
Quantitative Risk Assessment for a Floating Production Storage and Offloading in Brazil
Geosyntec undertook a quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for the Cidade de Paraty Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, which will operate in the Lula oil field. The Lula oil field, which is the largest hydrocarbon find in the world since the Kazakh Kashagan discovery in 2000, is located in the Santos Basin, 250km south of Rio de Janeiro. It is estimated to hold five to eight billion barrels of oil equivalent. Due to the size of the field and the water depth, which in areas is in excess of 2000m, it will be developed using a number of FPSOs.
Quantitative Risk Assessment for LNG Offshore Central Processing Facility in Australia
Geosyntec prepared the quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for the Browse liquified natural gas (LNG) offshore central processing facility (CPF) during the front-end engineering design (FEED) stage of this multi-billion dollar project.
Mixing in an Anoxic Selector Tank in England
Planned sewage improvements at Weston-Super Mare included a new, four-lane activated sludge plant.
Re-Suspension of Aeration Lanes for a Sewage Treatment Works in England
Severn Trent Water commissioned Geosyntec to investigate the optimal configuration of the Aqua Turbo aerators at the Melton Mowbray Sewage Treatment Works. These units aerated the mixed liquors using a screw impeller that drew up and impinged the fluid onto a flat plate above the water surface, creating a spray.
Review of Chlorine Contact Tank for a Spring Water Treatment Works in England
Upton Scudamore Water Treatment Works (WTW) is a groundwater treatment works located near Warminster in Wiltshire. The works has a maximum daily output of 15Ml/d, and the water can supply over 100,000 customers in the surrounding area. Upton Scudamore WTW is supplied with raw water from three distinct sources; two from ground water springs (9 Ml/d total) and another from boreholes (6 Ml/d). Tailored treatment processes are required for the springs (chlorine disinfection only) and boreholes (iron oxidation, then filtration and chlorine disinfection).
Chris Robinson Presented at Modeling Techniques for Optimizing Wastewater Treatment Plant Performance Event
Chris Robinson (United Kingdom) represented MMI Engineering, a division of Geosyntec Consultants while presenting at the Modelling Techniques for Optimizing Wastewater Treatment Plant Performance event at The Studio in Leeds, United Kingdom on April 21, 2016.
Enhanced In Situ Bioremediation of a DNAPL Source Area in United Kingdom
The application of enhanced in situ bioremediation for the treatment of chlorinated solvent source areas, referred to as dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL), offers major potential as a technically and economically effective remediation option. Project SABRe (Source Area BioRemediation) was designed to develop and demonstrate that enhanced anaerobic bioremediation can result in cost effective and quantifiable treatment of chlorinated solvent DNAPL source areas. Geosyntec was a key member of this collaborative project that was undertaken and financed by a multidisciplinary team from the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada, forming a unique industry-regulatory- academic partnership.
Underground Construction Information Management System in London
An underground construction information management system (UCIMS) was developed by itmsoil to monitor construction data from the new east-west rail link across London known as the Crossrail. The Crossrail project construction works, Europe's biggest construction project with projected costs of £15.9 billion, include underground development, comprising shafts, tunnels, and portals that extend beneath the already congested London underground. Given the urban environment in which the tunneling and other construction activities are occurring, monitoring of the construction works and the impact on adjacent underground and aboveground structures was a key activity for the project management and engineering teams. The UCIMS monitors tens of thousands of real-time geotechnical instruments and structural sensors as well as overall construction progress. In addition to performance monitoring of a host of construction activities, the UCIMS also tracks the progress and performance of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). The UCIMS was designed to provide real-time access for all stakeholders to the construction and instrumentation data, and it required an intuitive, map-based user interface, showing progress and data locations relative to the surface features and other spatial information.
