Project Overview
Honor Engineer Company provided full-service engineering for the design-build upgrade of the Nuremberg public water system, modernizing critical infrastructure serving approximately 340 residents and more than 150 service connections. The project included replacement of an aging 16,000-gallon finished water storage tank with a new 35,000-gallon steel tank, construction of a permanent chemical treatment building, installation of 36-inch chlorine contact piping, yard piping replacement, and upgrades to instrumentation, electrical, and control systems.
Key Challenges & Solutions
The project required maintaining uninterrupted potable water service throughout construction. New facilities were designed and built in parallel with the existing system, allowing for safe startup, testing, and transfer of operations before decommissioning the original tank, chlorination building, generator, and associated infrastructure. The upgraded system was engineered to meet Pennsylvania DEP requirements for 4-log virus inactivation while improving operational reliability and providing more than one full day of finished water storage capacity.
