The Sarpy County and Cities Wastewater Agency (SCCWWA) is set to develop the backbone of a new sewer system to pave the way for developers in the southern portion of the county. The Springfield Creek Lift Station is just one part of the SCCWWA’s Phase 1A Project, a $97 million project including 17 miles of dual force mains, three lift stations, and a mile of gravity fed sewers. Upon completion, it will allow for the transport of wastewater from the City of Springfield to the City of Omaha’s Papillion Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

In February of 2023, Hawkins Construction Company contracted with Schnabel to install two intersecting circular secant shafts for the Springfield Creek Lift Station. As part of the project, Schnabel installed 51 columns drilling over 3,315 linear feet. The connecting shafts were to serve as the support of excavation as well as a one-sided form for the exterior walls of the cast-in place lift station. Hawkins also cored three breakouts in the shafts for pipes to be installed to the lift station.
