Balfour Beatty’s Civils operations has been selected to deliver the approximately $60 million Bassett High School Stormwater Capture project in La Puente, California. In partnership with Los Angeles County Department of Public Works and Bassett Unified School District the project team will construct an underground infiltration gallery at Bassett High School to improve water quality of waterways in La Puente, West Covina, Baldwin Park and City of Industry, as well as enhance green spaces on site for public use.
Balfour Beatty serves as construction manager at-risk to deliver the project which involves the installation of underground storage and storm drain systems, diversion structures, pump stations and filtration vaults underneath Bassett High School. The project will also feature irrigation systems, water quality monitoring equipment and telemetry tools.
Additionally, the project team will enhance the high school’s athletic fields and construct new educational gardens with drought-resistant plants and trees to provide shade and cooling effects. A portion of the athletic field is proposed to be opened for public use as a new pocket park.
Design operations are underway for the Bassett High School Stormwater Capture project. The project is scheduled for completion in spring 2029.
