The Quarry Water Treatment Plant Expansion Project in Madison, AL recently hit a milestone with the commissioning of the new Finished Water Pumping Station. Phase Two of the project is underway with the demolition of the old clearwell and pump station to make room for the new Filter Building.
Fall Career Fairs
Two of our engineers attended the Fall Career Fair at the University of Alabama in Huntsville this morning. We are thankful for every opportunity to share what we do at Krebs with future engineers. The next fairs we are attending are at The University of Alabama and Auburn University in late September!
17 Springs Community Sports Complex
Krebs Engineering is proud to be a part of the design team for the 17 Springs Community Sports Complex in Millbrook, AL. Krebs has had the opportunity to provide planning and site design services for the 120 acre project site. Phase 1 of the project is now open to the public and includes 4 synthetic turf soccer fields, 12 tennis courts, and 12 pickleball courts. Phase 2 is under construction and will include a football stadium, indoor basketball courts, and 6 synthetic turf softball fields. The Krebs “Montgomery Office” particularly looks forward to enjoying this facility in a community in which several of our staff lives.

Auburn University Regional Stormwater Detention
Improvements to the storm sewer at Auburn University’s Jordan Hare Stadium were designed to resolve drainage problems associated with the drainage basin, including localized flooding in various buildings within the drainage basin including the proposed site of the Transportation Technology Center.
The projects consisted of two off-line underground detention basins with approximate volume capacities of 844,500 gallons and 1.168 million gallons, trash screens, control structures, flow splitter boxes, sediment removal boxes, storm water piping and drainage ditch clearing, grading and stabilization.
The project was scheduled in two phases to accommodate campus activities and work with other construction projects on campus. Phase I was completed in 13 months and included the north campus utilities relocation project for a total construction cost of $8,024,000. Phase II was completed in eight months for an approximate construction cost of $2,615,000.
University of South Alabama Hancock Whitney Football Stadium
In 2017, the architecture firm Cooke Douglas Farr & Lemons (CDFL) selected Krebs Engineering as part of a larger design team effort to provide the Civil Engineering design services for the 25,000 seat Hancock Whitney Football Stadium on the campus of the University of South Alabama. The project included demolition of the existing intramural complex, relocation of a 72” storm drain and an electrical ductbank, earthwork, drainage, significant site & campus utility routing. Krebs provided design services for the parking and hardscapes for the project site as well as several nearby areas intended for both stadium and general campus parking
University of South Alabama New Intramural Fields
The University of South Alabama selectected Krebs Engineering to relocate and update their existing Intramural Facilities. The project was placed on accelerated design and construction path due to the existing intramural field location being selected for the construction of a new University Football Stadium for which Krebs later provided Civil/Site design services. The project included significant earthwork and clearing operations, design of 4 soccer fields and 2 softball fields, roadway realignment, parking design, storm drainage improvements, a new intramural field house, irrigation design, and site lighting.
Technology Park Connector Drive, Western Access Road, & Stadium Drive Realignment
The University of South Alabama has utilized Krebs Engineering services for multiple campus roadway project since 2013. Krebs has provided USA with designs for roadway designs across virgin sites, realignments of existing roadways, and full roadway replacements associated with large campus utility projects. These roadway projects typically include drainage improvements, existing utility relocations, new utility routing, grading plans, erosion and traffic control plans, traffic studies, intersection signalization, wayfinding signage, and permitting with the Traffic Engineering Department for the city of Mobile.
Taco Tuesday
Thank you to all of our guests for attending Taco Tuesday in Newnan on Tuesday, May 23rd. We had a great time. A special thank you to Jacob Arney and Jason Dearing for their technical presentations.
Barbeque in the Garage
We had the best time in Montgomery at our annual Barbeque in the Garage on Friday, April 28th. Thank you to everyone who attended, and a special thank you to Andy Sterling, Geoff Burdick, and Neal Megonnell from AqeoUSvets for their technical presentation.
Talladega Superspeedway Infield Tunnel and Fan Zone
In 2018, Krebs was contracted by Taylor Corporation and Hoar Construction to be part of their design-build team. Krebs was contracted to perform the civil site design for the Infield Tunnel and Fan Zone. The project consisted of a new tunnel under Turn Number 3 that would accommodate the car haulers and large equipment/trucks. Until the completion of this project, the track would need to shut down for these vehicles to enter the infield. The design-build of this project had to be completed in approximately 6 months between the October and April races.
The Fan Zone consisted of new garages, pit road access, victory lane, and Big Bills (a large gathering area) that allows fans up close and personal access to the drivers, race, and garages. The project also had to be completed between the April and October races.
Both of these projects were delivered on time and under budget.
