Headworks

Moving and Removing Mountains of Grit at SFPUC's New 250 MGD Headworks

Friday, April 21, 2023
10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PST
Extreme grit loading events, stringent performance criteria, and very little space are no match for creative ideas and customized engineering design. The state-of-the-art design for SFPUC's New 250 MGD Headworks grit removal and grit handling facilities overcame challenges that could not otherwise be solved with off-the-shelf approaches.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how combined sewer influences the design criteria at headworks.
  • Identify hydraulic issues in headworks associated with large turndown of influent flow.
  • Understand design complexities and engineering detail associated with limited site space.
  • Understand design complexities and engineering detail associated with extreme grit loading events.
