Total Project Cost:
$729,243
Anderson & Associates, Inc. provided professional design services for the upgrade of an existing Teaverton
pump station and replacements of approximately 4,700 linear feet of 12” and 18” diameter gravity
sanitary sewer line, 1,600 linear feet of 16” force main, and 20 manholes from the 24” diameter Goose
Creek Interceptor northeast to the force main discharge/outfall manhole located between Tinkling Spring
Road and Summerfield Drive.
In an effort to help the Augusta County Service Authority (ACSA) work with local developers, A&A assisted
the ACSA with the staking of a section of the proposed sanitary sewer line ahead of time. This is so the
ACSA could construct that portion of the proposed gravity sewer line that crossed under a proposed commercial
development that was currently being constructed. This effort allowed the Developer to maintain
on schedule and not be delayed by the sewer improvements. Similarly, it prevented the ACSA from
adversely impacting the business at a later date by the demolition of a section of the new parking lot associated
with the business. By assisting with the construction of that section of sewer independent of the
rest of the project, A&A helped the ACSA avoid the unanticipated cost that would have resulted from the
removal and replacement of the section of asphalt parking lot as well as any hardships the project would
have caused the Contractor and the business.

Updated in 2005
For years the Town of Blacksburg has been monitoring sewer upgrades
and making adjustments on basic 24”X36” tax maps. As the
years passed and the sewer system became more complex, the growing
need for a computerized sewer mapping and modeling system
was apparent. The Town hired Anderson & Associates to map and
model the Sanitary Sewer System for incorporation into the Town’s
developing GIS (Geographic Information System).
The first step in the plan was surveying critical manhole sites (about
750) around the Town using GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and
conventional surveying. We located approximately 1/3 of the manholes
and the remainder of the manholes were digitized from sewer
mapping. The second step was to inspect the manholes to determine
flow capacity, elevation, pipe materials, and other information pertaining
to a given area. Field data was collected using a hand held computer.
After the implementation of the GIS, a user is able to click on
a specific point in the mapping and pull up a data base of information
including condition and available capacity of a specific sewer line.
In January 1996, the first phase of the Blacksburg Sewer project
was up and running. The interactive computer model of the sanitary
sewer system was the first step in setting up a sanitary sewer GIS to
assist in evaluating system capacity and reduction of infiltration and
inflow in the system.

It includes 4000 feet of new 15-inch pipe, 900 feet of new 12-inch pipe, three road bores, and
a 1.1 million gallons per day (MGD) pump station. The purpose of this project was to provide
more capacity for the future growth of the community and to reduce inflow and infiltration (I&I)
into the overall system. The project involved parallel and in-place pipe installation while maintaining
existing sewer flows. It also involved a stormwater prevention plan and erosion control
measures due to the close proximity of a creek and creek crossings. A&A also provided survey,
mapping, and easement maps for the project area.
Completion Date:

Upgrade in 2008
Total Project Cost:
$1,196,000
The pump station was designed to handle initial startup flows of 760 gpm until downstream
capacity improvements could be made. The pump station ultimate capacity was designed to
be 1,160 gpm and to reach it, the Town only needs to replace the impellars on the two pumps.
The Town is currently correcting the downstream capacity issues and upgrading the pump station
in the summer of 2008.
The Town applied for the Revolving Loan Fund through the Department of Environmental Quality
to receive financing for this project.
