River Mountain Water Treatment

With one of the largest capital improvement programs in the United States, the Southern Nevada Water Authority chose Lake Mead Constructors, an internal joint venture led by Kiewit Pacific Co., a subsidiary of Kiewit Corporation, to construct this $146 million 150-mgd water treatment plant. Twenty months into the project, the owner decided to expand the scope of construction to include an additional $31 million 150-mgd phase. Connected to a 108-in.-dia. intake structure, the facility includes ozone treatment and filtration facilities, and associated support facilities for chemicals storage and power supply.
