GMP#2 included the administration building, process building, sanitary sewer lift station, installation of an owner-furnished microfiltration system, chemical storage, and feed systems, PVC lined sludge drying beds and appurtenances, supporting instrumentation, electrical, mechanical equipment, and yard piping, SCADA system improvements, commissioning of facilities, and all remaining grading, paving, and landscaping work.
