The Franklin Water Reclamation Expansion Project is now complete, featuring a new biosolids treatment system that's helping modernize solid processing operations. As the general contractor on the project, Kiewit was tasked with renovating the existing facility in Franklin, Tennessee, to meet the city's growing demand, improve water quality and public health benefits and preserve its water resources. One of the facility’s additions includes a thermal hydrolysis system, which produces a Class A (exceptional quality) biosolid that can be land-applied or further processed into marketable fertilizer products. This greatly reduces the cost of hauling and the disposal of biosolids in landfills. This system also enhances biogas production for use as a renewable energy source. Over the last four years, our work also included: · The construction of a headworks structure · Modifications to existing BNR basins · A new equalization tank with mixing capabilities · Odor control system upgrades · Pump station improvements · New electrical equipment and distribution system · New UV disinfection facility This all occurred while the facility maintained operations. These additions mean enhanced environmental performance to minimize ecological footprint, including energy-efficient equipment, state-of-the-art technology and increased capacity. The facility will now be able to treat 16 million gallons of wastewater every day. Below, you’ll see a picture of our project team from the recent ribbon-cutting ceremony. Congratulations to the residents of Franklin, our client and the crew who worked incredibly hard on this project!
