Water Treatment Plant Construction

Treatment plants that reach rated capacity on commissioning day.

A water plant is a process, not a building. We manage the civil, mechanical, electrical and controls work as one integrated system, and we bring operators into the conversation early enough to change the design while change is still cheap.

Scope of work

  • Raw water intake and conveyance
  • Coagulation, flocculation and clarification
  • Rapid sand, membrane and granular activated carbon filtration
  • Disinfection, chemical feed and residuals handling
  • Clearwells, storage and high-service pumping
  • SCADA, instrumentation and controls integration

Technical capabilities

  • Membrane filtration and reverse osmosis systems
  • Dissolved air flotation and ballasted clarification
  • Ozone, UV and chlorination systems
  • Large cast-in-place concrete tanks
  • Process piping and valve galleries
  • Commissioning, optimization and operator training

Capacity is the deliverable

Owners do not buy concrete tanks; they buy treated water at a defined flow and quality. We organize the project around a commissioning plan that proves each process train independently before the plant is placed in service. If a filter cannot pass its acceptance test, the project is not done.

Working inside an operating plant

Most upgrades happen while the existing plant keeps producing water. Tie-ins are planned around hydraulic limits, with temporary treatment, bypass pumping and sequencing reviewed jointly with operations. Isolation valves are tested before they are trusted.

Civil, process and controls under one schedule

Mechanical and electrical subcontractors are selected during preconstruction and integrated into the same schedule as the concrete crews. That eliminates the classic gap where the building is finished and the process systems are still waiting for a coordination decision.

Commissioning and operator training

We write the commissioning plan with the owner’s operations staff, run the systems through their full control range, and deliver training on the equipment actually installed. The result is a plant the operator can run confidently on day one.

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.
