The Village of Roselle has begun construction of the Biological Nutrient Removal Upgrade Project at its Jerry A. Botterman Sanitary Treatment Plant. The project incorporates recommendations outlined in the Village’s 2022 Wastewater Facility Plan, which ensure compliance with future wastewater effluent regulations and improve the facility's reliability by replacing aging equipment. The improvements include converting the existing Oxidation Ditch to a Biological Nutrient Removal process for phosphorus and nitrogen removal, construction of a Chemical Feed Building to allow Alum to be used to aid in the phosphorus removal process, and replacement of the Influent Screens and Final Clarifier equipment. John Burns Construction Company began construction of the Chemical Feed Building in the fall of 2025, work is progressing as scheduled. Over the next year, Trotter and Associates will continue to work closely with the Village and John Burns Construction Company to help ensure the project’s success.
Trotter and Associates, Inc. is partnering with the Village of Sussex, Wisconsin, on the 2025 WPCF Improvements Project, which aims to modernize critical systems at the wastewater treatment facility. Upgrades to screening, filtration, and aeration equipment are being implemented to enhance facility operations and maintenance. With the hard work and coordinated efforts of Sabel Mechanical LLC and Pieper Electric, Inc., the project is expected to be completed on time.
The $1.36 million Village of Algonquin Braewood Lift Station Rehabilitation project is complete. Delivered in collaboration with the Village of Algonquin and Dahme Mechanical Industries, Inc., the project was completed on schedule and within 1.4% of the original construction contract amount. Following a 2022 condition assessment by Trotter and Associates, Inc. (TAI), improvements were identified to increase lift station and force main capacity. The force main replacement was completed in 2024, followed by lift station rehabilitation and system integration. Improvements included upsized pumps, VFDs, and piping; replacement of the grinder, flow meter, and odor-control equipment; electrical and HVAC upgrades; and connection to the new 16-inch force main. Station capacity increased from 1,500 GPM to 5,000 GPM, supporting future Village development.
The $42.6 Million Phase 2A Rehabilitation project at the City of Batavia's WWTF is nearing completion, several months ahead of schedule and with less than 0.5% in change orders. After completing off-site utility and roadway replacement, bike path realignment, replacement of the process flow disinfection system, and rehabilitation of the final clarifiers, wastewater was completely transferred over to the brand-new Headworks and Primary Clarifiers in October 2025. This project’s success is a result of the outstanding dedication and collaboration of the General Contractor IHC, the City of Batavia Public Works staff, and our Trotter project representatives. We sincerely thank everyone for making this achievement possible!
Trotter and Associates, Inc. (TAI) is collaborating with the City of Plano to assess the performance and capacity of their 2.44 MGD Biological Nutrient Removal Facility with aerobic digestion. As part of the evaluation, TAI addresses a key challenge: the City’s septic receiving station, which handles up to 10,000 gallons of septage per day during peak season. The additional solids load affects the facility’s overall capacity, especially in the aerobic digester. Our team is performing influent sampling and utilizing BioWin modeling to gain a thorough understanding of the facility’s operational dynamics. TAI is also developing an updated Basis of Design to reflect the impact of the septage receiving station, helping to determine the aerobic digester's remaining capacity. The result will guide recommendations for improvements to the solids handling system, ensuring long-term efficiency and performance, which is critical to infrastructure, and optimizing the wastewater treatment processes.
Phase I Improvements at the City of Woodstock’s South Wastewater Treatment Plant are progressing on schedule, with the chemical phosphorus removal system expected to come online this fall, marking the first significant milestone of the project. The strong performance of Manusos General Contracting and their team of subcontractors has been key to staying on track. Manusos has led structural concrete work and continues to manage overall construction efforts. RV Builders completed the construction of the ground face masonry block building shell, while Dahme Mechanical Industries installed under-slab plumbing and process piping. Associated Electrical Contractors has completed under-slab electrical work, and Jim Burke Excavating handled earthwork and installation of underground site utilities, including preparation for the new ring road. Upcoming work will focus on the chemical building systems, rehabilitation of the aerobic digesters, and improvements to the oxidation ditch. The project remains on track for final completion in summer 2026. Trotter and Associates, Inc. is proud to support the City of Woodstock with engineering solutions that advance water quality and infrastructure reliability for the community.
