PROJECT DETAILS
The BlueOval City wastewater treatment plant in Stanton, Tennessee, is a critical component of Ford’s sustainable manufacturing ecosystem. Designed to handle up to 5.1 million gallons of wastewater daily, it employs advanced treatment processes to ensure compliance with environmental standards. The facility supports Ford’s goal of zero freshwater withdrawals for assembly processes by incorporating water reuse and recycling systems.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The electrical scope of work for the BlueOval City wastewater treatment plant in Stanton, Tennessee included the complete installation of power, lighting, grounding, and control systems needed to support the facility’s industrial wastewater treatment operations. The drawing package included grounding and site plans, power plans, lighting plans, single-line diagrams, panel schedules, riser diagrams, conduit and wire schedules, and elementary control schematics, reflecting a full facility-wide electrical buildout.
The work extended across all major treatment and support areas, including the influent wet well, E-coat tanks, batch tanks, lamella clarifiers, sludge holding tanks, filter press area, chemical systems, and administration area. It also included raceways, conductors, equipment connections, and lighting systems throughout the plant.
The project also included instrumentation and controls integrated with a PLC-based system architecture, remote I/O, and monitoring for process equipment and chemical feed systems. General requirements included separate equipment grounding conductors, bonding, lightning protection, and fire alarm provisions.
