San Antonio Water System Brackish Groundwater Desalination (BGD) Program

JB Messerly Water Pollution Control Plant (GA)

WDBC member Parsons was selected to carry out a 46 MGD, $70 million upgrade to the plant via construction management at-risk (CMAR) services to expand, modify, and rehabilitate the facility, and was responsible for the overall construction and financial performance of the project. Improvements to the system maximized use of the existing plan and increased the level of reliability in meeting stringent effluent limits. The capital improvements also helped to ensure that National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit limits could be reliably met at the discharge from the wastewater plant without unexpected cost increases or time delays, and protected surrounding natural and manmade wetlands. Additionally, the Parsons team performed preconstruction phase evaluations to develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), which saved the client approximately $8 million.

Cauley Creek Reclamation Plant (GA)

Insufficient wastewater capacity was holding up development in Fulton County, GA. Parson’s design-build process enabled the project to be completed in 11 months. Georgia’s first distributed reuse water system is designed to resemble a rustic country estate so it blends with the existing community and it generates water which exceeds quality standards.

Highland Avenue Water Treatment Plant Upgrade (GA)

The City of Augusta chose Parsons to perform the reconstruction-phase services to upgrade their water treatment plant using CMAR. Parsons was adept at managing construction challenges. The project beat the cost estimate and exceeded the target of sub-contracts to local, minority and women-owned businesses.

Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility Phase V Expansion (CA)

Parsons was selected as Design-Builder for the plant’s $60.6 million Phase V expansion, water purification facilities (microfiltration, RO, and ultraviolet advanced-oxidation process facilities) expansion.

Boise White Paper Aquifer Storage and Recovery (WA)

HDR completed an integrated design-build groundwater treatment construction system for American Pacific Corporation (AMPAC).

San Jacinto River PIlot Water Treatment Plant (TX)

The San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA) wanted to expand their well-water system capabilities by attempting to use Lake Conroe as a new water source. HDR provided the design of a pilot plant and construction services to test six different manufacturer’s equipment, and simultaneously tested a standard treatment process in order to determine if the lake water could be useable.

American Pacific Corporation Groundwater Treatment System (NV)

HDR completed an integrated design-build groundwater treatment construction system for American Pacific Corporation (AMPAC).

Los Alamos National Laboratory Sanitary Effluent Reclamation Facility Expansion (NM)

Under an integrated design-build delivery contract with LANL, HDR Constructors (HDRC) furnished qualified personnel, equipment, materials and all design services necessary to design and construct the expansion of the SERF.

Blue Lake Biosolids Stabilization Facility (MN)

HDR teamed with New England Fertilizer Company (NEFCO) and Bor-Son Construction for the design and construction of a 52 dry-ton-per-day biosolids processing facility.

Shale Gas Water and Wastewater System (LA)

After HDR identified multiple system deficiencies in Heckmann Water Resources’ (HWR) water and wastewater system serving the Haynesville shale play, Heckmann hired HDR to design and build the first phases of a large-scale improvements program which included a 22 mile wastewater conveyance system, and design and construction of two oil/water separation systems and booster pump stations, a 5,000-foot cased pipeline under the Sabine River, and an integrated control system to monitor and control the wastewater collection system.

Pinellas County Fat/Oil/Grease Receiving and Dewatering Facility (FL)

HDR designs and builds an energy saving FOG Receiving and Dewatering Facility, the first of its kind, in Florida.
