With a fast-growing population, the city of Cape Coral, Fla., recognized the need to upgrade its water and wastewater infrastructure. MWH Constructors of Broomfield, Colo., managed the $873-million design-build/program manager-at-risk Cape Coral Facilities and Utilities Expansion Program, which included more than 70 projects. Work began in October 2001 and wrapped up in November 2010.
“We were fulfilling the city's utility master plan,” says Larry Laws, program manager with MWH. “We were touching every part of the water cycle.”
