Design Build Wastewater Treatment System
Proctor & Gamble, IA
After receiving an unexpectedly high bid for design and construction of a .2MGD wastewater treatment system, long-term client Proctor & Gamble asked Woodard & Curran for a proposal. Using a design/build approach, Woodard & Curran teamed up with Iowa-based contractor Wendler Construction to propose a considerably more efficient treatment design that would accomplish Proctor & Gambles goals and cost 25% less to implement than the previous bid. The project was designed and constructed on a fast-track schedule, and resulted in substantially reduced wastewater disposal costs.

For this a Fortune 50 beverage client, Woodard & Curran managed two design/build projects to increase bottling capacity at major production facilities.
