Warner Wins Croton Water Filtration Plant

The Croton Water Filtration Plant is one in the network of the facilities that supplies the City of New York with all their drinking water.  The plant, with a capacity to treat 1.2 million cubic meters of water per day, is located at the Mosholu golf course in the Bronx. 

The treatment plant is designed to filter 290 million gallons a day from the Croton reservoir system, which provides approximately 10 percent of the city's water. The balance comes from the Delaware and Catskill systems.

With a contract value of $1.3 billion USD, this is Skanska’s largest project ever in the United States.  The second largest is the New Meadowlands Stadium, which is being built for the New York Giants and New York Jets at an estimated value of $998 million USD.

Skanska has been assigned both the construction and installation of equipment.   The excavation work was performed by others prior to the award of this contract to Skanska.  Most of the plant will be constructed in concrete covering a footprint area of 35,000 square meters. The plant is being built on four levels below ground.  Skanska will be responsible for the approximately 200,000 cubic meters of concrete and 27,000 tons of reinforcing steel expected to be used.

Warner will develop a fully integrated baseline schedule and provide monthly updates.  Paul Brough will lead Warner’s team of Ralph Waagner, David Clark and Tracy Sinclair.  This new assignment and the selection of Warner is a result of an over 20 year relationship working with Skanska and its subsidiary Slattery on many projects both in the New York and Washington, DC areas, including the New Meadowlands Stadium project.
