Estimating costs and manpower requirements for conventional wastewater treatment facilities
1972
Patterson, W. L. | Banker, R. F.
Data for estimating average construction costs, operation and maintenance costs, and manpower staffing requirements, are presented for conventional wastewater treatment plants ranging from 1 to 100 mgd in capacity, and for stabilization ponds ranging from 0. 1 to 10 mgd in capacity. Estimating data are included for 21 separate components of conventional plants and 6 separate components of stabilization ponds. Examples of use of the data are given. Estimated average construction costs and operation and maintenance costs are related graphically to appropriate single parameters for respective plant components. Occupation descriptions for 24 job titles related to wastewater treatment, developed in accordance with standards of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, are included. The data presented provide means of estimating costs and staffing requirements for a variety of conventional wastewater treatment facilities on an average basis, but do not supplant the need for detailed study of local conditions or recognition of changing design requirements in preparing estimates for specific application.
