Borger New Wellfield
The Borger Northwest Wellfield project, designed by Parkhill, is a testament to innovation and efficiency. Initially set to produce 5 million gallons per day (MGD), with plans to expand to 10 MGD, this wellfield was a challenge due to complex hydrogeology. Parkhill’s team employed electromagnetic resistivity techniques, adapted from the oil drilling industry, to identify high-producing water well locations. This advanced approach allowed the wellfield to pump water directly into Borger’s distribution system, streamlining operations and enhancing reliability.
Strategic Design Lowers Costs and Enhances Capacity
To meet the project’s unique construction needs, Parkhill divided the project into specialized components, significantly reducing construction costs. The savings from this approach enabled the inclusion of a second one-million-gallon storage tank, providing operational redundancy and facilitating future expansion.
Award-Winning Project Reflects Commitment to Client Satisfaction
The Borger Northwest Wellfield project received the 2017 ACEC Engineering Excellence Award in the water/wastewater category, a recognition that underscores Parkhill’s dedication to client satisfaction. While the award honors our engineering achievements, it also reflects our commitment to exceeding our clients’ expectations and delivering sustainable solutions that benefit communities for years to come.
