Lake Texoma Outfall to Wylie WTP Raw Water Pipeline Project Package 4.01 and 4.02

Completed in 2014 by Oscar Renda Contracting, the Lake Texoma Outfall to Wylie Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Raw Water Pipeline Project Packages 4.01 and 4.02 encompassed a wide range of essential plant modifications and infrastructure improvements. This project focused on enhancing the capacity and functionality of the Wylie WTP to handle large volumes of raw water from Lake Texoma, addressing both current demands and anticipated future needs. Among the critical modifications were the installation of new mixing boxes designed to improve chemical blending in the treatment process, which is essential for maintaining water quality. Additionally, the project involved the installation of extensive yard piping, fitted with durable valves and fittings, to improve water flow control and facilitate seamless water conveyance within the plant.
To support disinfection processes, a Chlorine Dioxide Chemical Feed System was added, ensuring safe and effective pathogen control while enhancing the plant’s treatment capabilities. Meter vaults were also installed to house flow meters, allowing for accurate monitoring of water flow throughout the system and supporting operational efficiency. The project included the construction of fully functional electrical buildings to house and protect essential power distribution and control systems. Electrical and instrumentation upgrades were made to modernize control capabilities, improve monitoring, and support automated operations for increased reliability and responsiveness.
In addition to plant modifications, the project scope included extensive site work improvements. Concrete paving was laid throughout the site to create safe and stable access pathways for personnel and equipment, while fencing was installed to enhance facility security. Following construction, a comprehensive site restoration process was undertaken, which included landscaping and erosion control measures to protect the environment and restore the area to its natural state.
The project’s scope of work involved significant construction activities such as clearing, grading, and excavation to prepare the site for new installations. Large-scale pipeline installation was carried out, along with the placement of structural concrete to support tanks, mechanical equipment, and other heavy components. Mechanical equipment installation was executed with precision to ensure alignment and functionality, and each component was tested for optimal performance. Upon completion, the final restoration phase ensured that the site was stabilized and environmentally sound, ready to support the upgraded operations of the Wylie Water Treatment Plant. This project exemplified Oscar Renda Contracting’s commitment to quality infrastructure and sustainable practices, providing the community with enhanced water treatment capabilities that meet both immediate needs and future growth.
