Fru-Con Completes Water Project in US County

Fru-Con, a US-based contractor, has completed a $136m water project in Arlington County in Virginia, US, expanding the capacity of a 73-year-old water treatment plant.

The processing capacity of Arlington County Water Pollution Control Plant was increased to 40 million gallons per day from 30 million gallons per day.

The plant’s modernisation will also reduce the odour and discharge of biological nutrients into the Four Mile Run stream, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay.

Fru-Con, which had taken up the project in 2006, upgraded existing treatment systems and installed new chemical treatment technology in the plant to meet the environmental guidelines of the Federal Clean Water Act.
