Niwot Sanitation District – Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements

Pipe Stress & Pipe Support Design

JSC Engineers provided delegated design services for the piping support systems as part of the Niwot Sanitation District’s Wastewater Treatment Plant improvements in Niwot, Colorado. Our team performed a complete pipe stress analysis to ensure structural integrity, code compliance, and safe operation under operating conditions.

Using CAESAR II software, we analyzed ductile iron and stainless-steel piping across the Headworks, RAS/WAS Pump Station, Aerobic Digester and EQ Basin, and Dewatering and Aeration Building. Our analysis adhered to ASME B31.3 – 2022 standards and incorporated project-specific load cases. Maximum support loads were captured and used in the design of customized pipe restraints, with all supports engineered to meet a minimum dead load safety factor of 5X per Specification.

Detailed support calculations and load documentation were provided for contractor implementation, helping ensure safe and reliable performance throughout the facility.

Trust JSC Engineers for delegated pipe support design and advanced pipe stress analysis services for critical water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
