  11. Knowing What You No Can Lead to Yes • Define the challenges and problems • Have the staff involved: engineering, management, operations and maintenance – other staff • Identify treatment and hydraulic bottlenecks • Brainstorm on solutions – With who? • Engineering, management, operations and maintenance – other staff • Throw out ideas – then throw stones

  12. Selecting Equipment – Use the Tools Available • This is a MAJOR investment! • Kick the tires! • You may be “driving” this equipment for 20 years.

  13. Selecting Equipment – Use the Tools Available • Visit sites using equipment • Talk to your colleagues • Local events – JE & AC • National events – WEFTEC • International events – IFAT

  14. Features of Holland’s Headworks • Consolidates influent and solids handling • Minimized visual impact on public • Improved plant-wide flow measurement • Allowed for advanced secondary treatment

  15. Features of Holland’s Headworks • Provides for WWTP expansion and contraction • Increases site access for staff • Reduces landscaping • Provides video monitoring

  16. Features of Holland’s Headworks • Improve flow splitting capabilities • Reduced confined space entry • Reduced maintenance

  17. Features of Holland’s Headworks • Hydraulic relief for plant bottlenecks • Allowed for future excess flow storage • Provided a backbone for future plant improvements or expansion
