Pine Hill Water Treatment Plant

PROJECT OVERVIEW: This comprehensive infrastructure project encompassed the construction of eight distinct facility buildings comprising a complete water treatment system. The Pine Hill Water Treatment facility combines technical sophistication with architectural sensitivity, creating a cohesive campus designed to blend harmoniously with its rural surroundings.

ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH: The design incorporated various construction methodologies and materials, including wood framing, plaster finishes, structural glazed block, and aluminum siding. This intentional material diversity creates a "rural farm look" that helps these industrial facilities integrate aesthetically with the surrounding landscape, minimizing visual impact while maximizing functionality.

FACILITY COMPONENTS: The project delivered eight specialized structures: Administration Building, Headworks Facility, Influent Pump Station, Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) Building, Intermediate Pump Station, Chemical Building, Solids Handling Facility, and Filtration Building. Each structure was designed to meet specific operational requirements while maintaining architectural consistency across the campus.

CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE: The project's extensive architectural concrete features received prestigious recognition from the City of New York's Concrete Industry Board, earning the Roger H. Corbetta Award of Merit. This acknowledgment from industry leaders highlights the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of the concrete elements throughout the facility.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACT: This comprehensive water treatment facility represents a significant investment in critical infrastructure, ensuring reliable water treatment capabilities while demonstrating that industrial facilities can be both highly functional and aesthetically appropriate for their settings.
