Airport Drainage

Air Transportation (NAICS 481)

The Challenge

Runoff water is stored in large reservoirs and depending on the season is pumped to different places.  When deicing is used water is stored and pumped to wastewater treatment plant.  When water is clean it is pumped into a creek.

The Solution

We have been involved in several projects at this site pertaining to control of runoff water.  This is the second GE PLC and Cimplicity project we have built for O'Hare drainage.  Depending on the season water is pumped to wastewater treatment based on flow or directly to a creek based on level.

This is just one of many solutions that Frakes Engineering has provided over the years.  If you have questions about this or other services that we provide, please feel free to contact us.
