Cecil Commerce Center Water Treatment Plant

Jacksonville, Florida

A clear partnership from start to finish.

This design-build project, born of a joint venture between Haskell and MWH, was the second in a multi-project award contract from JEA, one of the nation’s largest community-owned utilities. It was also JEA’s first design-build effort for a greenfield water treatment plant.

We met today’s capacity needs while preparing for tomorrow’s.

The plant, designed to provide a maximum daily flow of 23.1 MGD and peak hourly flow of 29.6 MGD, is complete with provisions for expandability to 30 MGD maximum daily flow. While the future-proof design increased initial costs, the expandable plant will save valuable resources in future construction efforts throughout the lifecycle of the plant.

Single-source contracting guaranteed quality and control.

JEA effectively used one contract to improve four plants and had a highly attuned, professional team dedicated to efficiently and effectively meeting their objectives. Haskell’s ability to self-perform an estimated 32 percent of construction was a critical means to control quality, safety, scheduling and budget. We were thrilled creative solutions, pleasing aesthetics and guaranteed quality earned us additional engagements with JEA.

  • The plant is designed for a maximum daily flow of 23.1 MGD and peak hourly flow of 29.6 MGD with future expandability to 30 MGD.
  • The entire low-lying wetland site had to be raised to bring grade up to a buildable level.
  • The construction materials used were selected for their ability to blend in with surroundings.
  • Awarded a Local Award of Excellence and a National Award of Merit from Associated Builders and Contractors in 2004.
