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.”
This $110M Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) project was awarded to MWH by the North Texas Municipal Water District. It consists of four phases and requires the coordination of three separate design teams (Jacobs, Carollo, and HDR).

MWH is continuing to work uninterrupted on the Biosolids Digester Facilities Project (BDFP). The long-term, largescale project represents a significant overhaul of the Southeast Treatment Plant, San Francisco’s largest wastewater pollution treatment plant. BDFP is set to redefine the way wastewater is treated in the city, aiming to process up to 800 million gallons per day (MGD) and serving about 80% of the city’s population. Implementing state-of-the-art technologies and innovation, the project underscores MWH’s commitment to environmental sustainability and urban rejuvenation. The revamped plant will set new standards in waste management and pollution control, marking a major milestone in San Francisco’s environmental management history.
