When the team of workers from PC Construction completed their work on the $321-million Atlanta Water Supply Program project in late 2020—five years after work first began—they knew they’d been through something exceptional. Needed urgently to secure Atlanta’s then-threatened drinking water supply, the sprawling effort to transform a one-time quarry into a 2.4-billion-gallon raw water storage facility—among other tasks—would prove a singular accomplishment to some of PC’s crew and other project team members.
Calling it the “best job ever” in his career is Dan Nawrocki, senior vice president for PC, and a 40-year veteran of the water/wastewater construction business—including nearly 17 years as a senior project manager with Archer Western. “Nothing that I’ve ever worked on in 40 years comes close,” he says.
