đźš° There's some awesome progress happening at the Wastewater Treatment Plant improvement project in Siler City, NC!

This $62M upgrade is a collaboration from numerous municipalities – Siler City, Sanford, and TriRiver Water. Currently, our subcontractor, Baxter-Johnson has been crushing the near-complete excavation for the new Bio-Denipho and Post Anoxic/Reaeration Basin. With the anticipated completion in 2027, this notable project will expand the current treatment plant to support the community's continued growth and ensure a future of clean water for all residents.

Shook Construction is the General Contractor for this notable project, designed by McGill Associates, PA, which will expand the current plant to support the community’s growth and provide needed improvements to the treatment system to benefit the health of local residents. Key highlights include:

  • Improvements to the Town’s wastewater treatment plant headworks, influent pump station, biological treatment process, filtration, disinfection, sludge dewatering, electrical distribution systems, controls and telemetry.
  • Expanding the plant capacity from 4 MGD to 6 MGD to support planned development in the area, including the new Wolfspeed manufacturing facility.
  • Reducing the amount of ammonia in the plant effluent to improve the environment and quality of life of local residents.

“We are thrilled to be a part of the project and growth of the region,” said Ryan Levesque, Shook’s Director of Operations for the Mid-Atlantic Region. “It will be rewarding to bring new jobs to the area to support the construction and to extend a hand through community service as we live our Mission, To Dramatically Improve the Communities We Serve.”

With construction underway, Shook looks forward to the work ahead. “We’re ready to get to work!” exclaimed Senior Project Manager Matt Donovan. “Our crews have started preparing the site for the initial bypasses and reroutes to clear the way for the major operations that will be the backbone of the upgrade. It will be an exciting 30 months, with work anticipated to be complete in 2027.”
