Wastewater Treatment Plant Construction

Treatment capacity that holds through the wet season.

Wastewater plants cannot stop treating while they are rebuilt. Our field teams plan every tie-in against the owner’s hydraulic capacity, and we keep temporary treatment, bypass pumping and odor control in the base scope.

Scope of work

  • Headworks, screening and grit removal
  • Primary and secondary clarifiers
  • Aeration basins and blower systems
  • Membrane bioreactor and tertiary treatment
  • Disinfection, outfalls and reuse systems
  • Solids thickening, digestion and dewatering

Technical capabilities

  • Deep excavation, shoring and dewatering
  • Large-diameter process and influent piping
  • Fine-bubble aeration and diffuser systems
  • Anaerobic digesters and gas handling
  • Odor control and covers
  • Live-flow tie-ins and bypass pumping

Design the bypass before the dig

The defining constraint on a wastewater project is the flow. We model the temporary condition early, size the bypass pumping, and agree the allowable interruptions with the owner before mobilization. Emergency contingency plans are written for the failures that actually happen: pump loss, power interruption and wet-weather inflow.

Treatment performance through construction

Construction sequencing is developed around the permitted effluent limits. If a basin must come offline, we confirm that the remaining train can meet the permit before the first valve is closed. Monitoring is continuous, and the owner’s operators have direct access to the superintendent.

Heavy civil inside a process plant

Deep structures, caissons, large-diameter pipe and cast-in-place concrete are our core work. We combine them with the process knowledge to keep mechanical, electrical and controls installation aligned to the same milestone dates.

Solids and odor

Biosolids handling and odor control affect the plant’s neighbors as much as its effluent. We coordinate hauling, covering and ventilation with the owner’s public communication plan so the community experience is managed, not ignored.

How does a contractor get on the Craneway Civil Construction bid list?
Submit the enquiry form on our contact page with your trade, license numbers and a current certificate of insurance. Our estimating team reviews new subcontractors and suppliers weekly. Once approved, you will be added to the bid list for the scopes that match your capabilities and will receive invitations through our estimating system.
What is Craneway Civil Construction’s bonding capacity?
We maintain a $150 million aggregate bonding capacity with a $60 million single-project limit through our surety. Current bonding and financial references are included in our prequalification packet, which can be requested from our estimating team.
Do you self-perform concrete, earthwork and pipeline work?
Yes. Craneway Civil Construction directly employs concrete, carpentry, excavation, paving and pipeline crews. We self-perform the structural concrete, earthwork and underground work that sits on the critical path. Mechanical and electrical work is performed by long-term subcontractor partners who are integrated into preconstruction.
How do you handle traffic control and public impact?
Traffic control is planned during preconstruction with the owner and the local jurisdiction, not improvised in the field. Our work plans identify lane closures, detours, access for emergency services and business entrances before mobilization. For larger corridors we provide public information support, including notices, signage and a staffed project line.
What delivery methods do you offer?
We deliver Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Progressive Design-Build, CM/GC and CM at Risk. Our preconstruction team can support alternative-delivery pursuits with constructability review, open-book estimating, target-value design and GMP development.
