This Construction-Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) project involved a complete upgrade of the wastewater treatment facility, incorporating leading technologies to enhance efficiency and compliance. The scope included the installation of new Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), Ballasted Flocculation, and Denitrification Filter systems, along with a comprehensive overhaul of controls and electrical gear. Additional improvements featured the remodel of the existing administration building, the development of a new water reuse system by repurposing an existing clarifier, and the construction of a new Pre-EngineeredMetal Building (PEMB).
The upgraded facility integrated state-of-the-art treatment processes to optimize wastewater management and regulatory compliance. Key components included advanced filtration systems for improved effluent quality, fully modernized electrical and control systems for enhanced operational oversight, and a newly designed water reuse system that maximizes resource efficiency. The facility remained fully operational throughout construction, ensuring uninterrupted service.
These enhancements significantly improved the plant’s performance, ensuring full compliance with stringent site constraints & limitations —previously thought impossible by the client. The optimized treatment processes led to increased efficiency, reduced operational costs, and sustainable water reuse solutions. Additionally, the project was completed under budget and ahead of schedule, demonstrating the team's commitment to cost management and efficiency.
