This project involved the installation of a 36-inch water line along US Highway 17 Bypass, 62nd Avenue North Extension, Claire Chapin Epps Drive, Robert Grissom Parkway, and Frontage Road B2. Bolton & Menk completed the planning, modeling, final design, and regulatory approvals for a triplex 18,000 GPM VFD in-line water booster pump station along with a 7,126 LF 36-inch water transmission main to connect the Grand Strand Water & Sewer Authority and Myrtle Beach systems. This was particularly difficult because the operating pressures between the two municipalities differ by approximately 10 PSI. The design and permitting included 1,650 LF of 42-inch PE water line crossing (directional drill) of the AIWW.
