About South Valley Water Reclamation Facility
South Valley Water Reclamation Facility is a regional wastewater treatment plant located at 7495 South 1300 West in West J or dan, Utah. The facility serves multiple municipalities in the sou the rn Salt Lake Valley, treating wastewater from communities including West J or dan, South J or dan, Herriman, Riverton, and Bluffdale. Operating under strict state and federal environmental regulations, the facility maintains comprehensive records related to treatment processes, regulatory compliance, equipment maintenance, labor at or y testing, and operational documentation.
The Situation
Wastewater treatment facilities operate under extensive regulatory oversight from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Compliance requires maintaining detailed records of treatment processes, water quality testing, equipment maintenance logs, safety documentation, and regulatory c or respondence. As treatment volumes grow with the expanding population of the sou the rn Salt Lake Valley, so does the volume of operationaland compliance documentation.
The facility needed a storage system that could organize and protect these critical records while keeping them accessible for staff, audit or s, and regulatory inspect or s. The system also needed to accommodate the facility’s operational suppliesand maintenance materials in a compact footprint within the existing building.
The Solution
Material Handling USA designed and installed an mechanical-assist mobile shelving systemat the South Valley Water Reclamation Facility. The system features multiple carriages with a mixed configuration of open cubby shelving and built-in drawers, providing versatile storage options for different types of materials.
The open cubby sections accommodate boxed records, binders, and larger items, while the integrated drawers provide organized storage for smaller documents, supplies, and sensitive materials. Each carriage operates on a precision rail system with ergonomic three-spoke handlesand label holders for content identification.
Features
Mixed Cubby and Drawer Configuration
Each carriage combines open shelving cubbies on upper levels with integrated drawers on lower levels, accommodating both large and small storage needs in a single system.
Mechanical-Assist Drive
Ergonomic three-spoke handles allow staff to open any aisle effortlessly, even when carriages are fully loaded with recordsand supplies.
Label Identification System
Built-in label holders on carriage end panels allow staff to identify contents by department, record type, or date range without opening aisles.
Industrial-Grade Construction
Heavy-duty steel construction withstands the demands of a facility environment where equipment, tools, and heavy documentation share storage space.
Floor-Level T rack
Twin ramp t rack system installs directly on the existing concrete floor without requiring a sub-floor or structural modifications.
Wire Mesh Back Panels
Wire mesh rear panels provide visibility and airflow while securing stored materials from the back of the system.
Advantage
The mixed cubby and drawer configuration gives the South Valley Water Reclamation Facility a significant advantage over standard shelving systems. Instead of requiring separate filing cabinets for small documentsand separate shelving for larger items, the mobile shelving system combines both storage types into a single compact unit that moves on the t rack system.
For a utility facility that must maintain years of compliance records while also storing operational supplies, this versatility reduces the total number of storage fixtures needed and consolidates everything into one organized, space-efficient system.
Benefits
