Presentation Description

This presentation will provide an in-depth overview of CDOT's Floor Drain (FD) Program, focusing on the evolution, challenges, and successes of the water treatment processes implemented at approximately 45 maintenance facilities across the state. Attendees will gain insight into the history and objectives of the FD Program, including the impact of saline water on treatment systems, the effectiveness of various treatment technologies, and the ongoing challenges in maintaining water quality. The presentation will also cover lessons learned from early treatment methods and highlight the innovations and improvements made in more recent systems, particularly in salt removal and system longevity. Finally, we will discuss future recommendations aimed at standardizing and simplifying treatment systems while continuously evaluating and innovating to meet the unique needs of each facility.

This session is essential for professionals involved in facility operations, environmental compliance, and water treatment, providing valuable takeaways for optimizing and maintaining effective water treatment systems.
