Dean Kurtz Construction was selected to serve the citizens of Belle Fourche by building them a new and improved lift station, providing the community with fresh water. The previous lift station was built in 1980 and had started to succumb to natural wear and tear as well as mother nature. The new Day Street Lift Station was constructed directly beside the previous lift station on the end of Day Street where it meets the Belle Fourche River. This allowed the current lift station to continue servicing its customers while the new one was constructed and began its transition into the new acting lift station.

This is a Military Design-Build contract consisted of the replacement of Capehart Pumping Station at Ellsworth Air Force Base. Work consists of demolition of the existing wastewater pumping station and construction of the new wastewater pumping station. New electrical components in the existing pump station were used for the new pumping station as applicable. The new Capehart pumping station is capable of handling a peak flow of 430 gpm with a wet well usable volume of 1600 gallons. We provided the means to continue pump operations while the new facility was being built. An additional out pipe for future routing to Regional Waste Water Treatment plant was included.

Construction of Elk Vale Lift System, a sewage lift system with an above grade structure area of 1,036 square feet and a full basement area for equipment and pumps, began in August 2012. Site work included construction of three overflow storage vessels, force mains and gravity sewer piping.
