TSH Parcel Concept-Utility Overlay

TSH Area Utilities – Domestic Water

Water:

• Long Term Water Projects (LTW) Phase 1 & 2 supply existing North Campus facilities and EULs with a separated domestic water (DW) and fire water (FW) system (cyan lines in the ‘Utility Overlay’ exhibit).

• The nearest source of domestic water is an 8” PVC pipe on Eisenhower Ave.

• Preliminary calcs determine load on 8” DW main to more than double due to TSH fixtures.

– (240) shelters each with toilet, shower, and (2) sinks.

– Approx. from 150 GPM to 350 GPM.

Recommendation:

• Designer to update hydraulic model from LTW project to confirm FW and DW capacities and impacts to existing facilities.

• Conservatively, the nearest point of connection should be the 8” DW main on Eisenhower Ave.

TSH Area Utilities - Sewer

Sewer:

• Existing 6” sewer line (green lines in ‘Utility Overlay’ exhibit).

• Existing downstream 6” pipes may not be capable of handling additional sewage load.

– Undetermined condition from prior studies.

• Requires coordination with County/City to connect to public main sewer at outflow of facility.

Recommendation:

• Designer to conduct a drainage capacity study to determine if the existing 6” sewer lines downstream of the new lateral for the (240) units would need to be upsized, reconfigured, or replaced.

TSH Area Utilities – Storm Drain

Storm Drain:

• Nearby infrastructure will be renovated (not identified in ‘Utility Overlay’ exhibit)

• One portion shall be upsized to proposed 36” storm drain line by Storm Drain Renovation Project

– Currently at 65% design.

– 100% design for construction bidding expected October 2026.

• Remaining nearby storm drains nearby will be cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lined.

Recommendation:

• Designer to provide on-site retainage for storm water with connection to existing or proposed storm drain main for overflow.

• Refer to Stormwater Management for Federal Facilities under Section 438 of the Energy Independence and Security Act.

TSH Area Utilities - Electrical

Electrical:

• Nearby secondary electrical lines, transformers, and switchgears are fed from underground primary lines on Eisenhower Ave (red lines in ‘Utility Overlay’ exhibit).

• Assume existing switchgear serving CTRS shelters and trailers is maxed out.

Recommendation:

• Nearest primary line located along Eisenhower Ave

– A transformer and switchgear would be required as well as subpanels for TSH construction.

• VA Electrical Shop to confirm if connecting to primary or more convenient secondary source is feasible.
