Highland WRF Covered Sludge Storage
20,400 sq ft Tension Fabric Structure for Covered BioSolid Storage
A custom tension fabric building gave the city of Highland extra capacity and the ability to handle biosolids more effectively.
The Rundown
The City of Highland, IL was embarking on an extensive upgrade to its wastewater treatment plant. As part of that renovation, they needed a covered building that would keep their biosolid sludge dry and away from the elements. Legacy delivered a building that met their needs, extended their abilities to manage the sludge AND fit into their budget. “This Legacy building has been a very useful upgrade,” said plant supervisor Bill Zimmer.
