Incorporating a pre-engineered component or module into a treatment system offers the owner a number of significant advantages over a totally custom design option. In addition to representing a lower capital cost, a qualified manufacturer offers an expertise representative of a broad project base, the benefits of which can be applied to the facility under design. Enhanced design features and details are available as a result of manufacturers' research and development programs. Quality control, an important aspect to insuring that the completed facility meets design requirements, is typically far superior on a shop-fabricated component than the methodology employed to monitor construction operations at the job site. Offsetting these advantages, are inherent characteristics associated with pre- engineered components. A case study of the Manasquan Water Treatment Plant, including background, design approach, and implementation is given.
