Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility Yard Piping and Flow Measurement Design-Build
Alamogordo, New Mexico

FOREWORD

Work is located on the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility (BGNDRF) site at 500 Lavelle Road in Alamogordo, New Mexico in Otero County. The Project shall provide upgrades to site source water (SW), potable water (PW) and concentrate water (CW) piping and flow measurement infrastructure. Drawings and conceptual layout figures to be provided in Phase 2 and are cited as follows; Figure C6-2026, Figure C82026, Figure C9-2026, Figure C10-2026, Figure M6-2026, and Figure M4-2026 which are provided in Section 52 00 00.
Design and Construct:
1. Yard piping and flow measurement upgrades:
a.

The following descriptions reference points A through Q, which are shown on Figure C6-2026, Figure C9-2026, Figure C10-2026, Figure M6-2026, and Figure M4-2026, provided in Section 52 00 00.

b.

OPTIONAL CLIN: Locate leak and replace 50-500 ft (50-ft sections priced in Price Schedule C) of damaged Source Water Storage Tank 2 (SWST2) pipeline shown on Figure C9-2026.

c.

TP10 Flow Measurement Vault (Point C) including below grade vault, access hatch(es), power and controls, valves, piping, accessories, and three magnetic flow meters:
1) Three (3) for the existing SW piping from SWST1, SWST2, and SWST3 to the TP10 Manifolds (Point E).
2) Provide, controls, and integration with SCADA, electrical power to flow meters and heat trace, including duct bank and conduit. The flow meters shall provide local readout and remote readout to the existing plant SCADA system.

d. Replace existing 4” TP10 return line to SWST2 (Point B) using similar route as existing temporary (shallow) line. This requires replacement of sun-damaged piping and valves at the test pad (see Photos 51-52 in 51 00 90). The approximate location of the existing piping is shown on Figure C9-2026.
e. Removal of the existing partially buried TP10 manifold, which contains existing piping from SWST1 (SW 1), SWST2 (SW 2), SWST3 (SW 3), and PW source, and rerouting buried piping to the TP10 Flow Measurement Vault (Points C, D). f. Buried piping for SW 1, SW 2, SW 3, and PW from TP10 Flow Measurement Vault
