CEI for Korean Veterans Boulevard - Davidson County, TN - Mr. Lantz managed water and sewer related construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services for the construction of Korean Veterans Boulevard from 4th Avenue South to 8th Avenue South. This project included construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Korean Veterans Boulevard, 8th Avenue South, and Lafayette Street. Water utilities included approximately 4,500 ft of water main: 6-in to 30-in DIP WM and associated appurtenances and tie-ins. Sewer utilities included approximately 2,500 ft of 6-in to 12-in dia PVC sewer and associated manholes and cleanouts. (2012)

Central WWTP Grit Handling and Primary Clarifier Condition Assessment, Nashville, Tennessee Primary author of the condition Assessment report for Central WWTP North and South Grit and Primary Clarifier Processes. The report identified immediate, short-term and long-term improvements for these critical unit processes and involved comprehensive assessment of all equipment associated with these facilities. (2011)

Warner Park Valley Reservoir Flood Improvements, Nashville, Tennessee - Currently, overseeing the emergency A/E services for the repair of the access road washed away during the May 2010 floods. The project study included an assessment of damages, an array of repair alternatives including costs, and recommendation of repair. Project detailed design and construction of the repair work are complete. Construction value: $95K (2010)

Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements, Huntsville, Alabama Over saw the evaluation of upgrades to the solids handling facilities of the City of Huntsvilles largest wastewater treatment plant. The evaluation included an assessment of the current facilities and current and future treatment flows and the several options needed to treat these flows. The recommended approach receiving owner acceptance included rehabilitation of existing gravity thickeners, anaerobic digesters, waste gas flare and all ancillary equipment (i.e., piping, valves, pumps, motors, drives, boilers, etc.). Construction value: $1.2 Million (2010)

Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements Phase II, Muscle Shoals, Alabama - Led the evaluation and detailed design of upgrades to the solids handling facilities of the Muscle Shoals wastewater treatment plant. The evaluation included onsite pilot-testing of dewatering centrifuges. Improvements include rehabilitation of existing gravity thickener and belt filter press, and new aerated holding tank, thickened sludge pump station, dewatering centrifuge, polymer equipment and sludge conveyance. Construction value: 2.5 Million (2009)

Biosolids Management Project, Metro Water Services, Nashville, Tennessee - Project Engineer responsible for the implementation of the Long Range Biosolids Management Plan and assisted in the selection of a Design-Build contractor for the Central WWTP Biosolids Facility project. Project includes administration of Design-Build for the Central WWTP Biosolids Facility consisting of DAF thickening, anaerobic digestion, centrifuge dewatering and heat drying. Construction administration phase service for the Dry Creek facility improvements project consisting of upgrades to the influent pump station, new wet weather pumping station and connection to equalization basin, headworks improvements, aeration basin improvements, thickening, dewatering, new anaerobic digestion facility, and new biofilter odor control consisted of thickening and dewatering improvements and new anaerobic digestion facility. The Biosolids Management Project had a program budget of $155 million. (2005-2008)

From 2000 2005, Mr. Lantz was the Solids Project Manager for the $550 Million rehabilitation of the Detroit Wastewater Treatment Plant. In this role, Mr. Lantz managed from project conception through design and construction approximately $75 Million in constructed upgrades. The following paragraphs detail projects that Mr. Lantz managed:

Solids Master Plan - Contributor to the solids master plan for the Detroit Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plan included evaluation of future solids loading, the ability of existing dewatering and incineration facilities to process future loadings, the condition of existing dewatering and incineration equipment, and finally the development of a capital improvements program of short and long-term projects that permit the DWWTP to effectively process solids throughout the capital improvements period and beyond. The solids master plan was also robust and included backup contingency planning that allowed the DWWTP to make changes to their solids processing options without impacting process capacity.

Sludge Handling and Truck Offload Facility - Project Manager responsible for the Design-Build of the new Central Offload Facility (COF). The COF project included sludge conveyance, sludge storage, lime storage, lime mixing, and truck offload of dewatered sludge from all dewatering facilities at the DWWTP (i.e. total process design: 940 dry tons per day). The facilities are housed within the new six-story, brick COF building, as well as conveyor bridges joining Dewatering Complex II to the COF. Additional project features included both a limed sludge storage pad and the new, main truck gate for the DWWTP. Construction value/completion date: $26 million/May 2005.

Dewatering Facility Improvements - Project Manager responsible for the construction of the Complex II Dewatering Facility Improvements project. The project included installation of eight high solids centrifuges, as well as supporting polymer systems, blended sludge mixing, and pumping systems. The facilities were designed to process thickened primary and waste activated sludge at the DWWTP (i.e. total process design: 32.000 lbs. dry solids per hour). The facilities are housed within the existing Complex II Dewatering facility. Construction value/completion date: $17 million/August 2004.

Dewatering Facility Improvements - Project Manager responsible for the design development of Complex I Dewatering Facility Improvements project. The project included installation of three hydraulically driven piston pumps with cake storage along with rehabilitation of existing 10 belt filter presses, as well as supporting systems. The cake pumps were designed to transfer belt filter cake to the new Central Offload Facility (pumping distance approximately 600 feet; pumping pressures approximately 600 psi avg/1,000 psi max). The facilities are housed within the existing Complex I Dewatering facility. Construction value/completion date: $11 million/August 2005.

Incinerator Improvements - Project Manager responsible for the Design-Build of short-term incinerator improvements including burner train upgrades, replacement of main stack bypass dampers, THC CEM upgrades (construction only), and induced draft fan noise abatement for 14 multiple hearth furnaces at the DWWTP. Construction value/completion date: $19 million/September 2004.

Scum Concentration and Collection improvements, Engineer responsible for the design-bid-build of new scum concentration and scum collection facilities for the 12 primary rectangular clarifier tanks at DWWTP.
