The Memphis Regional Megasite involved constructing and installing essential infrastructure, including developing a Wastewater Treatment Plant, Water Treatment Plant, Water Supply Wells, and Water Towers. The primary goal was to establish a comprehensive electrical and communication system that would support these facilities’ efficient and reliable operation and meet future industrial and residential growth needs.
Key components of the electrical system included the installation of generators, switchgear, motor control centers, distribution panels, and transformers. These components ensured that the plants could manage their operations effectively, from water treatment to wastewater management, with minimal interruptions. A medium voltage ductbank connected the remote Water Supply Wells to the central Water Tower, providing a consistent water supply across the site.
The project also integrated communication systems for real-time monitoring and control of the facilities. Automating the processes through state-of-the-art instrumentation and controls increased operational efficiency and safety. Security systems, including site access controls and fire alarm systems, were also installed to safeguard the facilities. Upon completion, the project provided a reliable, self-sustaining infrastructure capable of supporting the Memphis Regional Megasite’s water and wastewater needs for years, contributing to Tennessee’s long-term economic growth and sustainability.

This is the second largest contract in our company history, with over 60,000 man-hours
