SFPUC Awards $1B Wastewater Overhaul to Jacobs-PCL Joint Venture
A joint venture between Jacobs and PCL Construction will deliver a $1 billion modernization of San Francisco's primary wastewater facility under a progressive design-build model, ensuring service continues without interruption.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission selected Jacobs and PCL Construction for the Southeast Treatment Plant Nutrient Reduction initiative. With an estimated $1 billion budget, the overhaul introduces advanced processes to curb nutrient discharge and align with state and federal environmental mandates. Because the plant handles roughly 80% of local municipal wastewater, construction must proceed without disrupting daily processing.
Key takeaways
- The progressive design-build project adds advanced treatment stages to reduce nutrient emissions while the site remains active.
- SFPUC officials noted that past project experience with both contractors will be vital in navigating the operational complexity of the site.
