Wilkesboro WWTP Improvement Project Moves Forward

Wilkesboro WWTP

Construction is well under way at the Wilkesboro Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement Project in North Carolina. The major upgrade will be key to improving efficiencies at the facility, which plays an essential role in bringing clean water to the region.

Shook Construction is a trade partner to Ulliman Schutte Construction, CMAR for the Town of Wilkesboro.

This improvement project includes a new Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) advanced biological treatment process and Control Building.

Shook’s mass excavation at the AGS basin is complete, along with encasement of the pipe drain. Installation of the process tank’s concrete mat is progressing, too.

The project’s scope also includes:

 

  • Extensive pipe work, both new and modifications to existing pipe
  • Construction of a UV disinfection structure and effluent metering vault
  • Conversion and improvements to current digestor tanks
  • Two new electrical buildings
  • New 30-inch effluent lines
  • Modifications to existing influent pump station, headworks building, and waste active sludge pump station


Shook is proud to collaborate with Ulliman Schutte Construction, engineering parter HDR, and all our great trade partners on this important project for the region!
