Archer Western and Stantec will lead Chattanooga, Tenn.'s effort to upgrade wastewater facilities at its Moccasin Bend Environmental Campus on the Tennessee River, including plans for the world’s largest membrane-aerated biofilm reactor.
The team will design-build Phase 1 of a Class A Process Optimization for Wastewater Energy Recovery (POWER) project and wastewater treatment plant upgrades at the site, where the city has installed infrastructure to support energy, water and cost savings, including solar electricity generation. Archer Western Construction will be lead contractor for the project, with Stantec leading design and engineering. The facility is expected to be operational in December 2028.
