Dvirka and Bartilucci Consulting Engineers (D&B) has successfully conducted all aspects of transfer station feasibility evaluation, site selection, design, permitting, construction services and operations contracting services for its clients.

D&B has developed construction, hauling and disposal cost estimates in order to determine the economic feasibility of modifications to existing stations or the construction of new transfer stations. These feasibility studies have been conducted for transfer station capacities for municipal solid waste and recylables from 25 to 2,200 tons per day capacity. This has included transfer stations in rural, suburban and urban areas. D&B has prepared detailed engineering designs and specifications for new stations and modifications to existing stations.

D&B’s services have included the construction management, facility start-up and operations. Its activities have included waste handling and transfer systems, drop-off areas, transfer equipment (loaders, compactors, roll-offs, trailers, rail cars), structures, scales and scale houses. As a result of its work, D&B is familiar with various modes of waste hauling, including trucks, rail barges, conveyor and baler operations.
D&B’s design services for transfer stations and associated collection and drop-off areas also includes structural design, electrical and mechanical systems, site layout activities, ventilation, light

ing, repair shops, restrooms, locker rooms, truck and equipment wash down areas, storm water drainage, walkways, parking areas, push walls, roll-up doors, water supply, fire protection, alarm systems and sanitary sewer systems. For transfer stations located at or near landfills, D&B’s services have included the design and construction of methane gas detection and control systems.

As a result of D&B’s continual work, on behalf of its clients in managing the competitive procurement of solid waste hauling and disposal contracts, the firm is fully familiar with the hauling contractors serving the region and the disposal facilities, in numerous states, which are seeking disposal contracts. This knowledge, in many cases, includes the permit status and capacities of the disposal facilities, which has been obtained from on-site inspections and interviews of regulatory officials by D&B staff.
