Will the new Buffalo Speedway panel replacement be ruined by this project?
dgheart asked almost 3 years agoThank you for your question. Construction of the proposed 24” Force Main in 36” Steel Casing under Buffalo Speedway should cross the majority of the pavement by trenchless construction. Any pavement that is disturbed shall be replaced to equal or better condition.

Why This Project Matters
1. Modernizing Aging Infrastructure
The project includes the construction of a new regional lift station and force main, replacing three outdated lift stations: Kirby No. 1, Westridge, and Main Street. This modernization effort will enhance system reliability and reduce maintenance costs.
2. Enhancing System Capacity and Reliability
By constructing new gravity wastewater lines and a force main, the project increases the capacity and resilience of the wastewater system, ensuring consistent service during peak flow conditions and extreme weather events.
3. Environmental Protection
Upgrading the wastewater infrastructure minimizes the risk of overflows, which can lead to environmental contamination. This project supports the city's commitment to protecting local waterways and ecosystems.
4. Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings
Consolidating treatment operations at the new regional lift station allows for more efficient use of resources and reduces the need for redundant facilities. This approach leads to long-term operational cost savings for the city.
5. Supporting Community Growth
As Houston continues to grow, the demand on wastewater infrastructure increases. Enhancing the system's capacity ensures that it can accommodate future development and population growth in the Westridge area and beyond.
