Gary Airport needed a complete wastewater infrastructure overhaul without interrupting daily flight operations or compromising security protocols. The existing gravity and pressure sewer systems were failing, and the Army Corps of Engineers required a solution that met strict federal standards while working within active airport boundaries. Time constraints were tight, and every phase had to coordinate with TSA requirements, air traffic schedules, and multiple stakeholder approvals across airside and landside areas.
SYTE Corp built a new triplex grinder pump station with full electrical integration and real-time monitoring, installed miles of new gravity and pressure sewer lines using directional drilling to avoid surface disruption, and restored 815 square yards of asphalt and 155 square yards of concrete pavement. The team executed 1,385 square yards of surface milling and overlay work across airside and roadway surfaces while maintaining erosion controls and traffic management systems that kept the airport fully operational. Security fencing upgrades were completed on schedule, delivering a modernized wastewater system built for decades of reliable performance.
The Bois Brule Levee & Drainage District faced critical pressure buildup beneath levees protecting thousands of acres along the Mississippi River. They needed 47 pressure relief wells drilled to depths of 65 to 80 feet in challenging riverbank conditions, each well requiring precise construction with stainless steel wire-wrapped screens and the capacity to pump 500 gallons per minute for sustained periods. Environmental regulations demanded careful material testing, hazardous waste disposal protocols, and complete site restoration including vegetation cover.
SYTE installed 47 D-type and T-type relief wells using 10-inch diameter stainless steel construction, placed engineered gravel packs with bentonite and concrete seals, and developed each well to specification before running full two-hour pump tests at constant 500 GPM rates. The team managed off-site hazardous material disposal, conducted required material testing at every stage, and restored affected areas with proper seeding, liming, and mulching. Every well now operates as designed, protecting levee integrity and reducing catastrophic flood risk for the entire district.
Southern Company Gas operates over 60,000 miles of underground natural gas distribution infrastructure across Nicor Gas and Atlanta Gas Light/Chattanooga Gas service areas and needed continuous methane emissions monitoring to meet evolving environmental regulations and corporate sustainability goals. The challenge required deploying specialized Picarro mobile detection technology across vast territories, training operators to capture accurate data while driving prescribed routes, maintaining strict quality assurance standards, and delivering actionable intelligence that regulators and internal teams could trust.
SYTE deployed trained operators driving Picarro-equipped vehicles across all designated routes annually, capturing real-time methane emissions data that identifies potential leaks and quantifies environmental impact. The team provides weekly and monthly reporting with built-in QA audits, GPS route verification, and targeted data quality checks that ensure regulatory compliance. When survey accuracy comes into question, SYTE re-drives routes at their own expense to guarantee data integrity. This ongoing partnership gives Southern Company Gas the emissions intelligence they need for proactive leak detection, regulatory reporting, and measurable progress toward environmental stewardship targets.
