WDBC Advisor Member PC Construction and Member Stantec Begin Innovative Wastewater Project for WSSC
WSSC broke ground last week on its #1 project, which will transform #2 into renewable energy at the Piscataway Water Resource Recovery Facility in Accokeek. The $262 million innovative Piscataway Bioenergy project is WSSC’s largest and most technically advanced project ever constructed in its 101-year history. The innovative facility will turn poop to power by transforming sewage into renewable energy.
“The Piscataway Bioenergy Project is a big step in greening the economy, cleaning the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and combating climate change,” said Maryland Environment Secretary Ben Grumbles.
“This project is a game-changer, utilizing cutting-edge thermal hydrolysis technology to reduce costs and increase efficiency and sustainability,” said Jay Fayette, PC Construction President and CEO. “A job of this size and complexity requires an exceptional team. As the project’s design-builder, PC Construction is pleased to have joined forces with Stantec, and Hazen and Sawyer to bring the best design and construction experience to realize the vision for this innovative project.”
PC Construction was awarded the design-build contract, which is expected to start in June. The entire project should be complete and operational in early 2024, weather permitting.
