McCarthy Starts Construction Of Indian Springs Water Treatment Plant

Published: 21-Jul-2010

McCarthy Building Companies, a water and wastewater builder, has started the construction work on a $14.7m contract to expand the Indian Springs Collection & Treatment Plant for the Clark County Water Reclamation District.

As per the terms of the contract, McCarthy will build a new, half-million gallon per day wastewater treatment plant that will serve the Indian Springs community and Creech Air Force Base (AFB), in addition to upgrading the existing facilities currently serving Indian Springs, which includes two lift stations, one on Creech AFB and one near the Indian Springs Casino.

The company will demolish the existing Creech AFB water/wastewater treatment plant and install and re-route more than four miles of piping and electrical duct banks including performing a portion of work under US 95.

Apart from the Indian Springs Wastewater Treatment project, McCarthy is also involved in the construction of a $19m wastewater treatment facility expansion in Mesquite, Nevada that scheduled for completion in the spring 2011.

Ryan Heeter, project director of McCarthy, said: "As a community-based builder, it is important for us to get involved early and work through the administrative process with the project stakeholders. As a result, we established and built a strong relationship with the County and all other parties, which enabled us to hit the ground running."
