East Jefferson Wastewater Treatment Plant Construction Management

Burk-Kleinpeter, Inc. (BKI) was contracted by the Jefferson Parish Department of Public Works to manage the construction of a new facility to consolidate all wastewater treatment on the east bank of Jefferson Parish.

The project was constructed by four separate general contractors, each working on a different area of the plant site. BKI coordinated the work of the four contractors and provided general construction management. BKI reviewed all shop drawings, clarifications and design changes; approved monthly contractors' invoices; maintained a CPM construction schedule; prepared contract change orders; and provided full-time resident inspection, material testing, and construction close-out. As part of construction close-out, BKI provided complete piping and instrumentation diagrams of the plant.

Construction cost for the entire project was approximately $60 million.
