Elevated and Ground Storage Tank Projects

Elevated tank, Illinois Department of Corrections

Hurst-Rosche Engineers, Inc. has recent and extensive experience in elevated and ground level storage systems for potable water. Our experience ranges from designing a new elevated tank for the State of Illinois’ Department of Corrections (photo on right), to inspecting and specifying repairs and painting of existing storage tanks. Specific design tasks include altitude valve control, distribution pressure, modeling structures, welding repairs, pumping telemetry controls, and sizing of tanks to match distribution demands.

Prepared plans, specifications and performed construction observation for replacement of approximately 3,500 lineal feet of 2-inch waterline with 6-inch waterline.

These tasks were performed on tanks located at:

  • Graham Correctional Facility
  • Vienna Correctional Facility
  • City of Sorento
  • City of Raymond
  • City of Keyesport
  • Village of Schram City
  • City of Worden
  • City of Hillsboro
  • Commonfields of Cahokia Public Water District

Additional Water Transmission / Distribution Projects

Waterline Replacement
Schram City, Illinois

Prepared plans, specifications and performed construction observation for replacement of approximately 3,500 lineal feet of 2-inch waterline with 6-inch waterline.

Sauget Industrial Park
Sauget, Illinois

Prepared plans and specifications for approximately 6,000 lineal feet of 12-inch waterline for new industrial park near Bi-State Airiport.

Pinnacle Point Subdivision
Glenn Shoals Lake
Hillsboro, Illinois

Prepared plans and specifications for approximately 20,000 lineal feet of 6-inch water main to serve new subdivision.

Illinois Route 127 Water Line Extension
Greenville, Illinois

Hurst-Rosche Engineers, Inc. is providing all standard engineering services for extension of an eight-inch water main south along Illinois Route 127 to a point just south of Greenville Airport, including project design, surveying, specifications, bidding supervision and bid recommendations, and engineering/ construction supervision.

White Subdivision
Hillsboro, Illinois

Prepared plans and specifications for approximately 5,000 lineal feet of 6-inch water main in new subdivision.

Water Survey
Commonfields of Cahokia, Illinois

Hurst-Rosche is currently preparing plans and specifications for the construction of a 24-inch waterline to supply treated water to the District from the St. Louis City water supply. The 24-inch water line will be placed under the Mississippi River by directional boring methods.

ADGPTV Water Commission
Treatment Systems Evaluation and Capital Improvement Feasibility Study

Study all treatment processes including raw water supply (impoundment) for treatment extensions, increased capacity, upgrade potential and related costs. The distribution system was also reviewed in terms of conveyance limits, pumping and telemetry controls. A three million dollar capital program was initiated as a result of this study as well as a treatment plant increased capacity rating by EPA.

ADGPTV Water Commission
Water Transmission Main and 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Water Storage Tank

Design and construction administration of a nine mile 16” diameter water transmission main. The project also included a 1 million gallon elevated water storage tank constructed of reinforced concrete and steel. Computer aided hydraulic analysis were performed to verify tank and line sizing. All surveying easement plats and staking were also performed by Hurst-Rosche Engineers, Inc.

Well Supply and Distribution System
Raymond, Illinois

Raymond elevated storage tank Raymond, a village of 950, receives water from a well supply. Hurst-Rosche has designed the wells, studied hydrology, and studied alternatives for new well locations all for the purpose of developing an additional municipal water supply resource. Hurst-Rosche has also been involved with well water treatment in Raymond with sequestration being the primary process used. Hurst-Rosche has designed several projects to extend 6-inch mains into new subdivisions and to serve commercial development. Recently completed was the design plans and specifications for a 150,000 gallon elevated water storage tank (as seen on right) and appurtenances as well as a new well including test well, structure over the well, feed equipment, 6” PC main, radio controls and site work for the City of Raymond.

Water and Sewage System Improvements
Greenville, Illinois

The City of Greenville replaced a 14-inch force main, a gravity relief sewer, pump station, and installing water line in 13 areas. Hurst-Rosche Engineers, Inc. provided all standard engineering services including project design, surveying, specifications, bidding supervision and bid recommendations, and engineering/construction supervision.

Rehabilitation of Water Treatment Plant
Hillsboro, Illinois

Prepared plans, specifications and performed construction observation for rehabilitation of water treatment plant. Improvements included new sand filters, flocculator and clearwell. Rehabilitation included settling basins, piping and automation of controls. Capacity was increased from 2mgd to 3.5 mgd.

Water Treatment and Distribution System
Improvements and additions
Hillsboro, Illinois

Construction of 2 million gallon per day water treatment plant with high service pumps; 7,500 lin. ft. of 14" water line; 2,000 lineal feet of 4" - 12" distribution piping with related valves and hydrants. Engineering services included surveys, preliminary and final plans, and construction engineering.

Wellfield Evaluation
Commonfields of Cahokia, Illinois

Hurst-Rosche evaluated the feasibility to the construction of a wellfield and treatment plant for the water district. A test well was drilled and tested for quantity and quality.


Hillsboro, IL
New water tower
Hillsboro, Illinois

Hurst-Rosche prepared plans and specifications for a new 1 million gallon elevated water tank. The existing water tower distributes potable water to Hillsboro, IL, three neighboring communities, a correctional facility and county water district.
