Dynotec completed field work and transitioned to detailed design for the Kenwood Hills Local Sewer project, which removed 160 homes from failing Home Sewage Treatment Systems (HSTS) and connected them to the MSDGC sanitary sewer system.

​

The project required careful survey and site assessment due to challenging topography and shallow bedrock. Dynotec’s team conducted field surveys, individual HSTS inspections, and utility coordination to establish accurate alignments for a new low-pressure force main system incorporating grinder pump stations. A particularly complex section of the sewer extended from the north end of the neighborhood east through a steep ravine to the existing Camargo Road sewer, which required segments to be installed using trenchless technology.

​

This neighborhood had been studied by Hamilton County Public Health in 2008, which identified public health risks due to malfunctioning HSTSs discharging inadequately treated wastewater into local creeks, storm systems, and drainage ways. Dynotec’s survey and design work ensured compliance with current sanitary regulations prohibiting HSTS discharges into storm systems, improving both public health and environmental outcomes.

​

The Result: Dynotec’s survey-driven design provided the Kenwood Hills community with a safe and reliable sanitary sewer system, eliminating public health risks from failing HSTSs. The project successfully connected 160 homes to the MSDGC system, accommodated challenging topography, and utilized trenchless technology to minimize environmental disruption. Detailed field and utility surveys allowed for precise alignment of sewer infrastructure and informed regulatory permitting, ultimately enhancing water quality and public safety in the area.
