Wastewater Collection & Treatment

The City of Grand Junction, in partnership with Mesa County, has initiated Phase 1 of the Persigo Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion—an important step in enhancing water quality, safety, and environmental sustainability. This upgrade introduces new screening processes, advanced electrical systems, expanded biosolids storage, and improved aeration and disinfection systems, modernizing the facility to meet growing community needs.

The City of Terrebonne, Quebec, undertook a critical infrastructure modernization initiative, constructing a new water treatment plant to enhance water quality. The new water treatment plant required a long-term solution against harsh sewage conditions with high levels of H₂S. Xypex Bio-San is a uniquely designed admixture for integral, long-term concrete protection in harsh sewage conditions with levels of H₂S that cause microbial-induced corrosion (MIC).

Built in 1967, the original wastewater treatment plant faced mounting challenges due to aging infrastructure and increasingly stringent federal discharge regulations. Significant upgrades were necessary to meet new environmental standards and ensure compliance with updated permits, requiring enhanced treatment processes to safeguard local waterways.

This project involved the application of Xypex crystalline waterproofing across 60,000 sq ft of concrete manure holding tanks in Clovis, New Mexico, for Vanguard Ag, a developer specializing in agricultural waste-to-energy systems. The tanks support anaerobic digestion, a process that breaks down farm and food waste to produce renewable biogas and agricultural byproducts.

This project involved the construction of a new lift station to replace existing wastewater settling ponds in compliance with updated EPA regulations. The new lift station serves as a fully enclosed holding tank designed to manage wastewater efficiently while ensuring long-term durability and environmental compliance.
