Sheet Pile SOE System Supports Belmont Pump Station Construction

By John Weber · Published April 29, 2026 · Last reviewed November 2, 2026

Sheet Pile SOE System Supports Belmont Pump Station Construction

The Belmont Sewage Pumping Station Replacement Project represents a critical upgrade to wastewater infrastructure in Prince William County, Virginia. Located at 13760 Dabney Road in Woodbridge, the project supports long-term system reliability and capacity improvements for Prince William Water.

Project Team

The project is being delivered through a coordinated effort between experienced engineering and construction teams.

  • Owner: Prince William Water
  • Engineer of Record: GHD Inc.
  • General Contractor: Archer Western Construction, LLC
  • SOE System Designer: H&T
  • SOE Materials Supplier: JK Steel

Support of Excavation System

Given the nature of deep excavation required for pump station construction, a robust Support of Excavation (SOE) system is central to the project’s execution. The SOE system, designed by H&T, ensures stability of surrounding soils and protection of adjacent infrastructure throughout construction activities.

Proper SOE implementation is essential in maintaining safe working conditions and minimizing risk in confined and below-grade environments.

Role of JK Steel

JK Steel supplied all materials for the SOE system, supporting the structural demands of the excavation phase. Their contribution includes providing the steel components required to maintain excavation integrity under varying load conditions.

In projects of this scale, material consistency and reliability are critical. JK Steel’s involvement helps ensure that the SOE system performs as designed, allowing construction to proceed efficiently and safely.

Infrastructure Impact

The Belmont Sewage Pumping Station Replacement Project is a key investment in regional infrastructure. Once completed, the upgraded facility will enhance wastewater handling capacity and improve operational resilience for the surrounding community.

Projects like this highlight the importance of collaboration between designers, contractors, and material suppliers. From engineering design to execution in the field, each component plays a role in delivering long-term performance.
