New equalization basins will regulate flows to
advanced water purification facility
Enhances capability to reduce imported water use
in drought-stressed region of Los
Angeles
DALLAS, Nov. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been
selected by LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) as the
progressive design-build contractor for the Donald C. Tillman
Advanced Water Equalization Basins, another critical part of the
City of Los Angeles' long-term
plans to increase recycled water production by 2035.
The Donald C. Tillman Advanced Water Purification Facility
(AWPF), also being delivered by Jacobs, will depend on a constant,
stable flow of primary effluent to produce purified water suitable
for reuse through groundwater replenishment. The equalization
basins, which can hold up to nine and a half million gallons of
water, will regulate variable flows to the AWPF and support the
optimal function of the facility's advanced water treatment
processes – as part of the Los Angeles Groundwater Replenishment
(GWR) Project.
"Managing limited water resources is a critical focus for
California communities and for
Jacobs," said Jacobs Vice President of Design-Build, Operations
Management and Facilities Services Greg
Fischer. "Our work with LASAN and the Los Angeles Department
of Water and Power on the Groundwater Replenishment Project will
help to provide a sustainable and resilient local drinking water
supply for Angelinos."
Jacobs will deliver the advanced water equalization basins
project under a progressive design-build contract, with
responsibility for design, permitting, construction, start-up and
commissioning, supported by Kiewit as its lead contracting partner.
Jacobs is currently supporting design-build contracts estimated at
up to $740 million at the Donald C.
Tillman site as part of the GWR project – which includes the
state-of-the-art AWPF, an educational learning center, electrical
upgrades, and the primary equalization tanks.
Across the state of California,
Jacobs has been part of some of the state's largest critical
infrastructure projects, such as the Pure Water Project
for Las Virgenes-Triunfo, the Alliance for Renewable Clean
Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) to establish a statewide hydrogen
hub, Los Angeles World Airports Capital Improvement Program, the
award-winning Los Angeles Federal Courthouse, the Delta
Conveyance Project, the Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement
Project and the Port of San Francisco Waterfront
Resilience Program. Jacobs was named No.1 for the fourth
consecutive year by Engineering
News-Record's global Top 50 Program Management
Firms list in 2024.
