Jamaica Bay Wastewater Treatment Facility
A large job occurring in multiple phases, WDF is undertaking a major upgrade of the Jamaica Bay Wastewater Treatment Facility. The project is expected to approach $200,000 million over a five year period. The project involves three new buildings, the renovation of an existing building, thousands of feet of pipe, hundreds of valves, new pumps, stainless steel troughs, aeration process blowers, a new boiler, gas flares, tanks and more.

As the electrical prime contractor for the project, the five-year project will include upgrading the electrical services and low voltage systems into four new buildings within existing plant facilities. The project includes almost every aspect of electrical installation including medium and low voltage power, site lighting, telecommunications, data, public address systems as well as a new plant-wide fire alarm system and CCTV security system enhancement. The project is currently on schedule for 2010 completion. The owner is the New York City Department of Environmental Protection with the architect/engineer Metcalf & Eddy of New York.
