SUGAR LAND SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT

Sugar Land, Texas

This project built a new surface water treatment plant to satisfy regulatory mandates requiring the City of Sugar Land and 17 surrounding municipalities to provide 30% of their water supply from surface sources by a specific deadline.

The greenfield facility treats surface water from nearby Oyster Creek, an offshoot of the Brazos River, to produce 9 million gallons of potable water per day, with a water blend ratio of 30% surface to 70% groundwater. The completed plant was the largest capital improvement project ever for the City.

MEC installed all power and lighting, as well as the following:

• Instrumentation and controls
• Electrical equipment
• Lightning protection
• Communication and SCADA systems
• Grounding and terminations
• Manholes
• Conduit and duct banks
• Medium- and low-voltage cabling

• Security and fire alarm systems
• Low-voltage switchboards and medium-voltage manual switches
• Distribution panel boards and transformers
• 48-volt DC battery system
