Construction has begun on the Canton Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion project in Canton, Georgia. The $67-million project is the largest capital improvement project undertaken in the city’s history.
The project will be fully funded by Canton’s Water and Sewer Fund revenues. Clark Construction Group and joint venture partner Reeves Young is serving as the general contractor. Atkins is the project engineer.
Under their contract with the city, the Clark Reeves Young team will upgrade Canton’s primary wastewater treatment plant to handle 6 million gallons per day and increase its capacity by 50%. The new facility also elevates the water treatment system to a higher standard of regulatory compliance with the installation of a membrane filtration system and upgrades to the solids handling process.
The joint-venture team will perform all sitework, site utilities and a range of mechanical processes. As part of its scope of work, Clark Reeves Young will install additional grit removal equipment in the existing headworks and construct a new control building, laboratory, tertiary treatment system and a new solids handling facility with aerobic digesters and a sludge dewatering building.
Project completion is slated for 2024.
