Ferrovial, through its subsidiary Webber, has been awarded a $538 million contract to construct the Mary’s Creek Water Reclamation Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. This project marks the company's most significant US water infrastructure undertaking to date, highlighting the increasing demand for advanced water treatment solutions in rapidly developing regions.
What Happened
Ferrovial's latest venture involves building a state-of-the-art water reclamation facility capable of processing 10 million gallons of water per day. Scheduled to begin construction in November 2026, with completion anticipated by the summer of 2030, the facility aims to address the growing wastewater treatment needs of Fort Worth's western area. The project encompasses a broad scope of work, including the construction of equalization and peak flow storage basins, preliminary treatment facilities, and advanced treatment systems such as membrane bioreactors. Additionally, the contract includes installing odor control facilities and necessary electrical and control systems. Once operational, the Mary’s Creek facility will provide reclaimed water suitable for industrial and irrigation purposes while adhering to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's discharge permit requirements.
What This Means for Your Business
This development presents significant implications for businesses involved in water infrastructure, construction, and environmental compliance. The contract highlights the importance of investing in advanced water treatment technologies, such as membrane bioreactors and nutrient removal systems, to meet regulatory standards and support urban growth. For contractors and suppliers, this project offers opportunities to engage in a large-scale infrastructure initiative, potentially leading to further collaborations with municipal governments. Companies should also consider the competitive advantage of aligning with environmental compliance and sustainability goals, as these factors increasingly influence procurement decisions and project awards.
What US Operators Should Watch
Key dates to monitor include the groundbreaking scheduled for November 2026 and the facility's expected completion by mid-2030. Stakeholders should track developments in water treatment technologies and regulatory changes by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, as these will impact compliance and operational strategies. Additionally, similar infrastructure projects may emerge as urban areas continue to expand, presenting further opportunities for investment and collaboration in the sector.
