Last week, our engineer Adam Shepherd had the opportunity to present at a University of Alabama ASCE meeting. Another UA Student Organization, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, also attended this meeting. It is important to Krebs to take every opportunity to invest in the education of future engineers.

Check out these construction progress photos from the Northport Wastewater Treatment Plant where a new solids handling building is being constructed and a screw press is being unloaded for installation.

Alabaster Water Board engaged Krebs to design the improvements at the Highway 12 Booster Pumping Station.  The improvements generally included replacing outdated horizontal split-case pumps, new electrical equipment, flow meter vault, Calcium Hypochlorite tablet feed system, miscellaneous yard piping, and architectural improvements.  The new vertical in-line pumps met the capacity requirements for this booster pumping station and featured a smaller footprint to allow space for a future pump.

Krebs is committed to giving back to the community and supporting the education of future leaders. One way we do this is through the Ronald U. Harris Scholarship and Charitable Giving Program. By providing these donations, we are investing in the future and helping to create a more successful society. We are proud to be able to make a positive impact in this way to the following entities:

• Alabama State University
• Auburn University
• Tuskegee University
• First Responders Children’s Foundation
• Food Drive benefiting Manna Ministries and Shelby Emergency Assistance
• On River Time
• Mike Rowe Works Foundation
• Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service
• Making Memories Deer Hunt

Krebs is honored to participate in the food drive sponsored by Alabaster Water Board. This food drive benefits those in the city and the county.

We hope the following PFAS information is helpful. Please contact us if you have questions.

Krebs hosted a Tailgate event in Huntsville last Thursday, and it was a great time! Thanks to everyone who came out. We want to give a special thanks to the following people for their technical presentations: Holman Waters with TDH, Katie Henderson with Ovivo, Joe Williams with Raftelis, Ray Womack, Adam Shepherd, Scott lee, Jacob Arney, Caleb Leach, and Mark Smith.

This past Monday, Krebs presented at the Alabama Water Wastewater Institute’s annual conference. Pictured is Jason Dearing discussing the cost and operational benefits of a Vertical Asset Management Program.

Our 21st Annual Low Country Boil was a huge success this past Friday! Thank you to everyone who came out. We would like to give a big thanks to Jacob Maynard and Mark Magda from Eco-Tech for their technical presentations, and Kathy G & Co for the amazing food. We are already looking forward to next year!

Krebs provided engineering design and construction review services to the Utilities Board of the City of Tuskegee for the new water and sewer mains to serve a site in the Tuskegee Industrial Park just south of Exit 38 off I-85. 

The sanitary sewer installation required some challenges from some wet low-lying forest land to some very steep slopes to the project site.  Evergreen Siteworks, LLC out of Opelika, Alabama is performing the work.

The industrial site will be occupied by Samkee Corporation, a South Korean car parts manufacturer supplying parts to Kia and Hyundai.  They anticipate using 176,000 gallons of water a day at full capacity and they will create lots of new job opportunities for Macon and surrounding counties.  Samkee plans to start operations at the new site in March of 2024.

Construction of the Hall Avenue Water Main Replacement Project continues through Historic Downtown Opelika, Alabama! This project is part of Opelika Utilities’ ongoing capital improvements program to remove and replace aging water system infrastructure throughout the water distribution system.
