Project Background
The Confluence Park Water Reclamation Facility, spearheaded by the Ash Creek Special Service District, is a bold leap toward a sustainable future in Washington County, Utah. Nestled in the heart of Confluence Park, this state-of-the-art facility transforms wastewater into high-quality, reusable water. As a result, it supports regional growth, conserves drinking water, and protects local ecosystems. Blending cutting-edge technology with environmental responsibility, it’s designed to serve as a model for smart, water-wise communities. As this particular region experiences rapid population growth and increasingly unpredictable climate conditions, the demand for reliable, sustainable water solutions is critical. Consequently, the Confluence Park Water Reclamation Facility is designed to treat up to 3 million gallons of wastewater per day from two different cities. This project is a powerful commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the long-term vitality of Southern Utah.
Challenge
Wastewater treatment plants involve a dense network of piping systems, including pressurized lines, gravity-fed systems, chemical feed systems, and recycled water loops. The complexity and precision required pose a unique challenge. Furthermore, all of these systems must function within tight spatial constraints and strictly adhere to environmental and safety standards. Not to mention, the importance of coordinating material procurement for multiple vendors. That’s why involving a reclamation facility construction management team is imperative.

Method
The client engaged Ferguson Waterworks for multi-pronged design-build project support. Firstly, our dedicated VDC group designed a comprehensive model of the water reclamation facility’s ductile piping systems. As a result, identifying constructability issues early in the process. This reduced rework and generated cost savings during the project. Our team’s experience in process-intensive environments ensured that piping layouts provide both clash-free and constructability optimization. Furthermore, it enables fabrication-ready construction, which allows contractors to install faster on-site. Ultimately, saving time and reducing risk.
What benefits did the Ferguson Waterworks VDC Group provide?
- Our thorough but quickly generated 3D piping layouts enabled the sales team to begin material assessment and advisement faster. As a result, project stakeholders had a head start selecting on-budget products with suitable lead times.
- Working closely with the select manufacturers, vendors, and fabricators, we personally confirmed that any changes to the BOM would be fulfilled within the project’s timeline.
- Our dedicated Design-Build Project Management team provided expert end-to-end support. This means they coordinated with manufacturers, vendors, contractors, and owners to ensure alignment. Furthermore, keeping the project on track to meet the deadline with the possibility of finishing early — a seldom-feat in most infrastructure projects.
Why do waterwise communities turn to Ferguson Waterworks for design-build services?
In this case, the client engaged Ferguson Waterworks due to the project requirements’ complexity and sensitivity. Furthermore, our track record for success regarding similar project scopes showcases our value. When it comes to identifying clashes between systems such as piping, electrical, and structural, our VDC team is diligent. We also coordinate information and materials among trades, leveraging Building Information Models (BIM) for seamless prefabrication and installation. In complex projects like water reclamation facilities, these critical skills ensure accuracy, efficiency, and smooth execution. As a result, preventing roadblocks, preserving timelines, and maintaining budgets.
