Bosque Brewery Bernalillo

Bosque Brewing Company is a microbrewery based in New Mexico that strives to produce not only great tasting beer but also create jobs and contribute to the local economy and community. With taprooms located in Albuquerque and Las Cruces, the owners moved into an aggressive growth phase that included multiple expansions in facilities, staff, and equipment.

As part of this expansion, a new production brewery and taproom was slated for construction in Bernalillo, NM. The facility was to be built in line with a live flow sanitary sewer line that runs parallel to Highway 550. The brewery would merge into this existing service. Once the line leaves the brewery, it would go down a slope about a 100’ ending at a lift station next to the Rio Grande River.

However, the brewery, sewer line, and lift station are all located in the Rio Grande Bosque. The bosque is a swamp land next to the Rio Grande River. In order to protect the Rio Grande Waterway from contamination, should flooding occur, a sanitary sewer overflow solution was included in the site design. Initially, a fiberglass overflow tank was considered, but this traditional tank solution proved to be too expensive. Instead, the Engineer of Record, RESPEC, reached out to Contech Engineered Solutions to identify a better solution. Ultimately, a DuroMaxx® SRPE SSO tank was selected as it met the project requirements while providing significant cost savings when compared to the alternate fiberglass solution. With the DuroMaxx tank on the final set of plans, the contractor, ISHC, reached out to Core & Main to supply the tank.
