St. Louis | Making Fixed Price Design Build, Progressive

Blue River Wastewater Treatment Plant Biosolids Improvements Project, which is being delivered as fixed-price design build, replaces the incineration process that had been part of the biosolids handling for Kansas City since the 1980’s with a thermal hydrolysis process (THP) which creates a Class A biosolids. The Design-Build team began work on the project in January 2021 and startup and commissioning is scheduled to begin in 2024 with many challenges along the way. Learn how we overcame the unique challenges while using a fixed-price design-build delivery within an existing facility.
