Project Description:

Omaha District is interested in replacing the current four compressor configuration with two larger 2‐stage rotary screw, oil-less compressors for the purpose of reducing maintenance and increasing system reliability. The project will aim to decrease the systems recovery time by increasing the compressors capacity (CFM) and the total system storage. This will be accomplished by replacing one damaged accumulator tank and adding two additional accumulator tanks as well as replacing the undersized air supply piping. This will allow two units to go into condensing mode quicker and provide the Big Bend personal the ability to conduct multiple make‐up air counts during the condense blow‐down cycle as there are typically multiple units operating in order to maintain 100 psi system pressure. An optional back pressure system will also be included.

The estimated construction cost of this project is Between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
