Technologically Advanced Wastewater Treatment
Sustainably-minded and collaboratively built, this 4.4 mgd facility was built on a greenfield site adjacent to the existing wastewater plant.

The new Solo Point Wastewater Treatment Plant provides wastewater treatment for all of Joint Base Lewis McChord. Located on 18 acres between the towns of Steilacoom and DuPont, the plant is designed to meet demands of the military base for decades to come, as well as comply with today's more rigorous environmental standards for treated wastewater. The new facility incorporates some of the latest technologies in wastewater treatment, including membrane filtration and UV sterilization at the tertiary treatment stage and supports future zero liquid discharge goals. Designed to meet the security requirements of the USACE featuring SCADA software, the plant can be operated from desktop computer terminals either onsite or from California. Sustainable features included the 45% water use reduction, optimized energy performance (minimum 40% reduction relative to baseline), use of locally sourced materials, natural day-lighting, and water efficient landscaping and rain gardens for stormwater management.

Project scope includes motor control centers, 600V cabling and distribution, instrumentation, duct banks and manholes, low voltage cabling, illumination systems, lightning protection, cable trays, and underground and surface mount raceways in caustic / NEC classified areas.
