McCarthy Building Co. has reached a critical milestone on another water project in its portfolio.
The contractor, alongside engineer-of-record Black & Veatch, marked the completion of the Kansas River Wastewater Treatment Plant’s modernization in Lawrence, Kansas, according to the builder. The project cost $74.3 million.
Improvements to the facility include the conversion of four aeration basins to biological nutrient removal basins, with the goal of significantly reducing nitrogen and phosphorus discharged into the Kansas River. A new supervisory control and data acquisition facility will give plant operators real-time monitoring and control across all plant systems.
