This week, significant progress can be seen across several key areas of the project. Masonry crews are making strides on the Operations and Maintenance building, with work advancing rapidly on the maintenance bays.

This week construction activities are advancing steadily. Crews are now focused on first-floor interior framing for the Operations and Maintenance building, while finalizing walls and slab work for the maintenance bays.

This week marks significant progress across the site. The Aqua Nereda basins and sludge buffer tanks are wrapping up their concrete phase, with crews preparing to move forward with the installation of piping, equipment, and stairways.

This week, progress continues with new developments on the exterior walls and second-floor decking of the Operations and Maintenance building.

The Operations and Maintenance building now features newly installed second-floor joists and decking, while the masonry walls of the maintenance bay continue to rise.

This week we are proud to share a flyover video of our new wastewater treatment plant being constructed on Energy Lane. This is a special look with a context that we couldn't provide in photos.

This week, significant progress continues at the Nereda basin site. With the trough systems nearing completion, detailed views of the internal structure are now visible. The sludge buffer tank is also in its final stages, with walkways and plumbing nearing completion for optimized access.

This week, we can see steady progress all throughout the up-and-coming Water Reclamation Facility being built on Energy Lane. The crews are finishing wall on the storage tanks, which are taking shape and nearing completion.

Some of this week’s photos are a unique look at a storm-drenched construction zone, which was evacuated on October 8th due to Hurricane Milton. Prior to evacuating to return to their families, crews conducted storm preparation.

In this week’s photos, despite the rain bands last week and storm yesterday, we can see the masons have started going vertical on the O&M building exterior walls. We can also see further progress on the Nereda basin's 42" influent lines.

Today’s update includes a note about storm safety for construction zones like the New Mainland Wastewater Treatment Facility. FPUA is monitoring Hurricane Helene's track and potential impact to our service territory.

In this week’s photos we can see some great new progress on some of the pipework that will connect the treatment basins to the upstream and downstream flows of the plant once it's completed! 

Crews finished the chlorine contact chamber foundation slab and buttoned-up the final rough-in of the future headworks and equalization tank. We also completed the walls of the future sludge thickener, water level correction tanks, and made a lot of progress on the troughs inside the AquaNereda basin! This week we’re making great progress on the deep injection well pump discharge piping system. 

This week, we see the continuous progress and forward momentum the build team has achieved despite a wet summer thus far! Crews have finished the contact chamber foundation slab and are now moving on to frame the walls and catwalks over the coming weeks.

This week, we can see substantial progress across the jobsite! The site electrical contractor set the primary transformer’s manhole and conduits, and we’re ready for the rough-in of the main electrical building.  We can also see the chlorine contact chamber’s concrete slab and serpentine wall framing starting to take shape. The second half of the slab will be poured this week before crews go vertical with the chamber walls.

This very special Wastewater Wednesday, in addition to update photos, we are extremely proud to announce that Fort Pierce Utilities Authority has been awarded a grant of $28,061,358 toward phase 2 of our sewer treatment plant relocation project from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection, Resilient Florida Program.

This week on Wastewater Wednesday, updated aerial photos of the entire site show the breadth of progress made so far this year. The construction site is bustling - see if you can spot team members, trailers, and trucks peppered throughout the landscape of these photos.

This week on Wastewater Wednesday we can see progress on the next concrete structures up for completion. Crews previously poured the lower slab for the chlorine contact chamber and have now begun forming the slab for the future sludge buffer and water level correction tanks. These structures work in unison with the AquaNereda reactors during the primary phases of treatment. 

This week, subcontractor Integ-Crete Construction shared aerial views of the final concrete pour of the walls and decks being formed at the mainland treatment plant. Integ-Crete's Construction specializes in wastewater treatment plants and large government civil concrete structures. The Integ-Crete Team has over 50 years of combined experience and is recognized as a leading treatment plant contractor in the state of Florida.
