F&H Construction , one of the leading builders of water and wastewater storage and treatment facilities in California and Hawaii, has been selected by the City of Redding as the builder of the Clear Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and Expansion Project.  Construction under a $15.8 million contract will soon begin, adding to the building company’s expanding portfolio of public works projects. The work generally involves repairing, rehabilitating and/or replacing existing equipment, enhancing bio-solids treatment and disposal, and improving odor control measures at the plant. This filtration expansion effort is just one in an $80 million, seven-phase upgrade at the Clear Creek plant, which handles three quarters of Redding's sewage.

Stephen Seibly is F&H Construction’s lead estimator for the project. “We are pleased the City of Redding selected F&H Construction.  We know this plant will serve a vital functional role for the City, as it will provide a much needed boost to the existing filtration capacity,” said Mr. Seibly following the City Council’s unanimous vote to award the contract to the Stockton-based company.

Scheduled for completion in 2012, the major rehabilitation and expansion project will provide the City of Redding with a modern wastewater treatment facility able to meet expected demands up to the year 2025. It is anticipated that treatment capacity at the plant will ultimately be increased to 151,500m³/day – more than doubling the current maximum peak flow – and energy efficiency will be improved.
