Arthur A. Schrage PE, Inc. is a one-person

SOME SPECIFIC PROJECTS RELATED TO SEWER BACKUP & REPAIR
- As
one member of a three-person panel, evaluated the economic soundness
of a $15-million sewer improvement project for a Michigan city of about
35,000. (2001)
- Prepared
recommendations for eliminating cross-connections that were causing
basement flooding in a Michigan city of 75,000. The project involved
the evaluation of flow monitoring and rainfall data. (1987)
- Prepared
recommendations for eliminating cross-connections that were causing
sanitary sewer overflows in a Michigan city of 5,000. The project
involved the development of a sanitary sewer inspection plan and
the evaluation its results. (1989)
- Developed
the corrective action plan for reducing the sewage flow rate from
a Michigan city of 35,000 into two county sanitary interceptors. The
final objective was to certify that the flow does not exceed the
contract amount for the 10-year frequency rainfall. The project
involved the evaluation of flow monitoring and rainfall data. (1993-1994)
- Prepared
the initial multi-year plan, the annual work plan, the progress reports,
and the budgets for the sanitary sewer repair program for a Michigan
city of 10,000. The expenditure involved $560,000 over an eight-year
period. (1985 to 1992)
- Administered
sewer studies and repair programs for Michigan cities having populations
of 8,000, 4,000, 7,000, and 35,000. (1973 to 1994)
- Designed
a project involving the lining and/or replacement of two sanitary
sewers (serving 55 residences) located in rear yard easements. Four
alternatives were evaluated with the construction cost estimates
developed for each. The construction cost for the recommended alternative
of partial lining and partial replacement was $395,000. (1991)
- As
an expert witness, gave a deposition on behalf of a homeowner whose
basement was flooded with sewage three times in a five-year period. In
June of 1996, the sewage spewed out of the top of the toilet and filled
the basement with 21 inches of sewage. Developed and presented a definition
of an "inadequate sewer system" in this case. (1996-1999)
