Wastewater Treatment Project




Contractor:      Lillard & Clark Construction
Project:           Westminster Water Treatment Facility
Location:         Westminster, Colorado
Dates:             September 2005 - August 2007

Lillard & Clark purchased a Port-A-Pour Series-II batch plant in September of 2005.  The plant was immediately placed into service at a wastewater treatment facility to supply concrete for the expansion of the facility.  The quantity of concrete required is 12,000 cu. yards.

Currently, they are using 2 mix designs.  The compressive strength required is 4,000-psi minimum.  The project started out with a straight 7-sack cement mix and a fly-ash option was added shortly after.  They have adjusted the mix design to 6¼-sacks total cement with 25% fly ash.  Using an air entrainment admixture and mid-range water reducers, they are averaging 5,800-psi compressive strength.

A consulting engineering firm is performing quality control tests. The project is more than 80% complete and there have been no test failures.

The plant has eliminated scheduling problems.
