Jacobs (J) has been selected by the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, or PRASA, to design the Mayaguez Ocean Outfall Replacement, part of PRASA’s Capital Improvement Program to modernize and strengthen Puerto Rico’s water infrastructure. The large diameter, 1.1-mile pipeline, which carries treated wastewater from the Mayaguez Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant into the Atlantic Ocean, sustained major damage during Hurricane Maria. Jacobs is delivering planning, permitting and design services to replace the system with a more resilient solution that reduces environmental impacts. Leveraging advanced oceanographic and geotechnical analysis, diffuser optimization, and both trenchless and open-cut construction strategies, the new system will be designed to withstand future hurricanes and seismic events, improve the dilution of treated wastewater and reduce impacts to marine habitats.
