Lewis & Clark Regional Water System was formed to provide a desperately needed source of quality, reliable drinking water to over 300,000 people in South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota. Utilizing our municipal engineering services, the City of Baltic, SD completed significant upgrades to aging utilities within the city's infrastructure. Volga's stabilization ponds were converted to settling ponds to address overloading concerns and allow for continuous discharge. Added mechanical pretreatment and ultraviolet light (UV) disinfection facilitate these changes and are designed for expansion.
Your project is unique. That's why our Architects and Interior Designers are driven by your needs, priorities and expectations. Our architectural projects include the areas of industrial, commercial, civic/community, education, religious, healthcare, and recreation/sports facilities. By using the latest technologies such as 3D modeling software, we can walk you through a number of design scenarios so you can visualize spatial relationships, furniture, textures and colors. We can even create animations that simulate walkthroughs of your project.
We rely on clean, safe drinking water every day and that starts with a well-planned engineering design. Water supply, treatment, and distribution engineering has long been the hallmark of our business and we bring sound, practical engineering to each and every project. Our design experience in water systems ranges from simple chlorination and chemical feed points for wells that pump directly into water distribution systems to large, complex water treatment plants. Through distribution system modeling, we evaluate capacity, system pressure, and available fire flow to develop design criteria or locate booster pumps and water reservoirs.
We're here to provide key design support for civil and architectural projects as well as stand-alone structural designs, inspections and investigations. Nearly every project we work on involves some element of structural engineering. Our experience includes commercial, industrial and public buildings, educational and recreational facilities, historic restoration, highway and pedestrian bridges and hydraulic structures. We also provide design services for foundations, bridges and hydraulic structures related to dams, pipelines and treatment facilities.
Otter Tail Power Company was required by the EPA to implement a plan to reduce emissions in compliance with Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) guidelines. The survey was needed so designers had an accurate representation of existing site conditions. Upon design completion, Otter Tail enlisted Banner to provide third party QA/QC services during construction. Banner provided random checks on the contractor and contractor's surveyor to ensure construction was in conformance with the plans. This successful project was completed more than a year ahead of schedule and 21% under budget.
Two existing structures at a drainage crossing along Co. Hwy. 126 in Minnehaha County, just northwest of Crooks, were considered structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. Banner utilized its experience, expertise, and capabilities to provide complete design and construction services including feasibility studies, planning, design, construction administration, and construction observation for a replacement structure. Several bridge options were evaluated during design for functionality and cost, with a box culvert selected as the best alternative.
The common thread between successful projects is an emphasis on construction administration and observation. These value-added services help maintain timelines, improve quality and manage costs. At Banner, we have a team of experienced engineers, architects and technicians to take care of on-site construction services giving you one less thing to worry about.
