In 2018, local agencies declared an emergency and, incoordination with the State, funded and developed the Salton Sea Management Program, which is a 10-year plan to develop a suitable environmental habitat for maintaining aquatic and avian wildlife and to minimize fine particle dust emissions from the exposed playa due to accelerated evaporation of the Salton Sea relative to water inflow.
The SCH Project is the first design-build project for the Salton Sea program. This $206.5M project includes the creation of 4100 acres of habitat ponds and wetlands for migratory birds and fish on the southern shore of the Salton Sea east and west of the New River Delta.
MWH is the CMS provider for the DWR Salton Sea Species Conservation Habitat Project (SCH).
“MWH has been instrumental in helping us with the construction management inspection services needs of the Salton Sea Species Conservation Habitat design-build project. With this being our first major design-build project for the Department, coordinating with the Design-Builder and all other stakeholders has been effective and efficient due to MWH’s ability to communicate effectively and anticipate issues related to design and construction before they even happen. The MWH Team came prepared and willing to assist us in overcoming common design-construction challenges that can hamper many projects of this size and scope. Their insightful experience and know-how of the construction process has proven to be a great asset. This project is no easy undertaking especially with this level of visibility, however, with MWH’s assistance, we have continued to move forward with and meet important construction milestones associated with the success of this important project.”
The MWH Breckenridge Conference featured 13 insightful presentations, recognizing standout contributions in engineering, innovation, and project leadership. Two teams were selected to join Obayashi’s training program in Tokyo.

Earlier this year, the City of Saco selected MWH as the Construction Manager At-Risk for the $50M Water Resource Recovery Facility Upgrade project. The project consists of a new treatment building with aerobic granular sludge treatment processes, secondary filtration, and UV disinfection with upgraded grit removal and solids handling, as well as the conversion of existing clarifiers for additional stormwater storage and site grading alterations to mitigate tidal flooding from the adjacent Saco River.
