The Kenworthy 24” Transmission Water Main project involves the construction of approximately five miles of 24-inch ductile iron waterline, delivered in three phases. Phase 1 covers 3.5 miles from Red Fern Road north to Germann Road and is closely coordinated with Pinal County’s reconstruction of Kenworthy Road. Phase 2 extends one mile from Schnepf Road to the Kenworthy alignment, including stub-outs for a future well site, while Phase 3 connects another mile of line from Kenworthy Road back to Schnepf.

This waterline is a key component in Queen Creek’s long-range infrastructure plan to increase system capacity, improve operational flexibility, and support planned growth. The phased construction allows for integration with other public works projects while minimizing disruption to area residents and traffic.

The Jackie A. Meck Water Campus is a critical part of Buckeye’s water resource strategy, designed to improve water quality and meet growing demand in one of Arizona’s fastest-growing cities. The project includes an 8 MGD water treatment facility with the ability to expand to 16 MGD in the future, along with offsite and onsite piping, new and re-drilled wells, water storage tanks, booster pumps, and advanced treatment systems such as reverse osmosis and arsenic removal.

Built through a joint venture and delivered as part of a design-build team, the campus includes a 13,000-square-foot pump station, chemical treatment building, chlorination systems, and a SCADA-integrated control network. Serving the area bounded by Yuma Road, Buckeye Canal, Watson Road, and Miller Road, the facility strengthens Buckeye’s long-term water infrastructure while supporting both current and future residents.

This project included construction of approximately 6,630 LF of 21” gravity sewer pipeline and 3,017 LF of 12” gravity sewer pipeline. The average depth of sewer installation was 27’ deep. This project also included Jack-and-bore crossing of 476 LF of 24” gravity sewer line into a 42” steel casing underneath a RID canal. It also included installing 40 precast polymer sewer manholes. The pipeline was installed within the proposed easement for the City of Buckeye on Miller Road and Lower Buckeye Road. Sewer bypass and abandonment of the existing sewer line was also part of the project.

This project involved the full refurbishment and equipping of the City of Buckeye’s Sundance Well #8 site to bring it up to current operational standards. Work included the installation of new piping, fittings, valves, de-sander, and a pump, along with a complete overhaul of the site’s electrical systems. Upgrades included a new VFD, RTU, MCC, ATS, and SES, with SCADA programming tailored to the City’s existing Wonderware and HMI interface standards.

A new AB access road was constructed to improve site accessibility, and the existing generator was repaired and restored to full functionality. Coordination with APS ensured proper utility integration. Delivered through a fast-tracked design-build approach, the project helped the City enhance its water supply system quickly and efficiently.

This project transformed City-owned property adjacent to Airport Well #2 into a fully functional well water treatment facility. Developed in coordination with the City of Buckeye and Tres Rio Engineers, the facility was designed to address local water quality needs and expand potable water capacity.

Key features include an arsenic removal system, chlorination and pH adjustment systems, a new electrical service, and a SCADA-integrated control system. The site also includes valving and piping to blend treated and untreated water, flush tanks for storage, and underground connections to a nearby well, increasing operational flexibility. Pumping capabilities were re-established, and the facility now serves as a critical node in the City’s water infrastructure.

This project involved the replacement and installation of nearly three miles of 8-inch and 12-inch waterlines throughout Gilbert’s historic Heritage District. Work extended from Elliot Road north to Olive Avenue and through adjacent neighborhoods, replacing aging infrastructure to improve water delivery and reliability in the downtown area.

The 12-inch mains were installed to feed upgraded 8-inch distribution lines, modernizing service and supporting future growth. Construction required careful coordination to maintain access and minimize impacts to residents and businesses in this highly active district.
