WATER PUMP STATION - ADDITION & RENOVATION

Evergreen Park, IL     

The Village of Evergreen Park needed to upgrade their water pumping station and renovate their Public Works facility.  The new pump system required more than double the physical space of the existing pumps, so an addition was required.  The addition was located to take advantage of the existing water main routing from the 1,000,000 gallon reservoir immediately adjacent to the public works facility.  The existing pump room was converted into offices for the Public Works Department, and the addition was connected to the existing facility via an enclosed link.

The exterior of the addition and existing public works building were coordinated to allow the building to appear as one facility.  The existing building consisted of an antiquated 1950's appearance and various non-coordinated tack on additions over the years.  The design and construction of the addition required close coordination between the Village's Civil Engineer (who designed the water pumping system) the piping and pump contractor, the building contractor, and the Public Works Department.
