(Baltimore, Md.) Gannett Fleming, an international planning, design,
and construction management firm, has been awarded the study and
preliminary design for a new water treatment
plant for the City of Baltimore. Gannett Fleming’s Baltimore office and Water Practice will lead a joint venture with the firm Malcolm
Pirnie to complete
the study.
The Fullerton Plant is planned as a 120 mgd facility that will
serve the Baltimore County/Baltimore City water distribution system.
The alternatives evaluation, pilot work, and preliminary engineering
phase of the project will be a $5 million effort, scheduled for completion
in the spring of 2008. The Fullerton plant will be the largest new
water treatment plant constructed in the Baltimore region in 50 years.
“We are delighted to have been selected to complete this
study,” stated Stephen B. Gerlach, P.E., vice president and
manager of the Environmental Facilities Design Group. “This
water treatment plant will allow the City of Baltimore to meet their
customers’ current needs, while preparing for extended drought
conditions and future demand.”
The Fullerton plant will complete the Susquehanna Water Supply
Master Plan. The plan was designed to allow the City to supplement
its primary reservoir supplies by reliably treating a river water
source.
