Austin Water’s Wastewater Treatment Plant Rehabilitation

Aug 11 2026

Austin Water’s Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is undergoing a $1.5 billion expansion, upgrade, enhancement, and rehabilitation program that will increase treatment capacity, implement Biological Nutrient Removal, improve headworks and influent lift station infrastructure, and rehabilitate aging primary clarifiers and flow equalization basins. This session will explore how Austin Water, consultants, and two Construction Manager at Risk teams are coordinating four interconnected Capital Improvement Projects on one active wastewater treatment plant site, including construction sequencing, maintenance of plant operations, value engineering, VDC, SUE, partnering, and executive-level coordination. This is a hybrid event – you can either join on-site for the in-person presentation, or join us virtually as we record the presentation.
