The structure did not provide sufficient protection from the weather or include a means of removing the equipment for maintenance without disassembling the roof. This project will replace the existing aluminum structure with one similar in design to the centrifuge structure at the Southwest Water Reclamation Facility. This will also include the installation of a monorail system which is a crane system allowing maintenance staff to move the centrifuge in and out of the building to perform repairs or replacements that would otherwise require the rental of external crane equipment to perform.
