The McAlpine Creek Wastewater Management Facility (MCWWMF) is the largest wastewater treatment facility operated by Charlotte Water (CLTWater). In 2018, CLTWater began a Reliability and Process Improvements project. The project involved the rehabilitation of 16 secondary concrete clarifiers that ranged from 95 to 150 feet in diameter, with the oldest clarifiers being nearly 60 years old.
CLTWater considered an epoxy coating. However, they historically ran into issues with failures of delamination. Thus, they opted to move forward with a pilot study with four different epoxy manufacturers where they analyzed cost, schedule, performance, quality, service life, and safety. Concluding the test, CLTWater determined the single coat epoxy to provide the best value for their project.
