The Vermont-based firm will be featured in the July issue of ENR East
PC Construction, ENR MidAtlantic's Contractor of the Year, recently completed work on the $269 million Piscataway WRRF Bioenergy Project in Accokeek, Md.
For expanding expertise in design-build and construction management-at-risk delivery on municipal infrastructure projects, PC Construction is ENR MidAtlantic's 2026 Contractor of the Year.
The South Burlington, Vt.-based firm says its 75% increase in design-build contracts is "a direct reflection of owner confidence in our collaborative approach."
PC says it anticipated the necessity for CMAR and progressive design-build and "built the team and the systems to deliver it, and it continues to grow because of it."
ENR's regional Contractors of the Year demonstrate growth and revenue in their respective region, as well as innovation, creativity and a commitment to give back to their communities.
PC Construction will be featured in the July issue of ENR East, which will also include the region's Top Contractor rankings.
The ENR East ranking of contractors includes firms doing business in Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. Rankings are based on total regional construction revenue of participating companies, and also include breakouts by state revenue and various specialties and disciplines, as applicable.
PC's contributions to the industry and the communities it works in are expansive. As part of its recently completed Piscataway WRRF Bioenergy project in Accokeek, Md., PC Construction worked with WSSC Water to hire 34 Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBE) on the project, supporting nearly 150 MBE/SLBE jobs.
PC committed to awarding more than $40 million of the project to MBE/SLBE firms. By the end of the project, that goal had been exceeded by more than $3 million.
PC supports more than 100 non-profit community organizations each year through a combination of time, pro bono services and sponsorship. Employee owners have an impact not only on the built landscape, but also on their communities, actively organizing food drives and cleanup days, educational opportunities and community contributions.
The firm attracts talent in the trades and across the broader industry through its Leadership Development Program. The firm’s involvement in the Vermont Construction Academy helps provide post-high school hands-on training and certification to those interested in the trades.
Last year PC Construction's $201.83 million in East region revenue ranked the firm No. 78 on the ENR East Top Contractor rankings. To find out where the firm ranks on this year's list grab a copy of the July issue of ENR East.
PC Construction's notable projects include:
Piscataway Water Resource Recovery Facility Bioenergy Project, Accokeek, Md.: The $269 million progressive design-build recently completed project is the largest and most technically advanced project WSSC Water has constructed in its 106-year history and is one of only seven facilities in the country to incorporate an advanced Thermal Hydrolysis Process to transform biosolids. The project changes how WSSC Water handles biosolids from all six of their water resource recovery facilities, significantly reducing volume and creating Class A biosolids that can be marketed as a soil amendment. The process captures and cleans the digester gas to help power the facility, generating approximately $4 million per year in revenue, saving WSSC Water customers approximately $3.4 million per year in operating costs, and further reducing WSSC Water’s greenhouse gas emissions. A portion of the bioenergy generated is also sold to Montgomery County to power part of its Ride On bus fleet.
Motts Run Water Treatment Plant Expansion and Rehabilitation Phase 2 and Raw Water Pump Station, Fredericksburg, Va.: Construction is underway on the long-planned expansion of the water treatment plant, the sole source of drinking water for the ity of Fredericksburg. This major infrastructure project, totaling $142.1 million, will increase the plant’s treatment capacity from 12 million gallons per day (mgd) to 24 mgd, helping meet future water demand for both the city and Spotsylvania County. Once complete, the expansion will provide an additional 2 mgd of potable water, bringing the city’s total available supply to 7 mgd to support future growth and development.
Arlington Re-Gen Biosolids Upgrade, Arlington County, Va.: This progressive design-build project is the first of this delivery method for Arlington County, which is expected to total approximately $300 million. This project will modernize Arlington County Water Pollution Control Plant’s (WPCP) solids handling facilities and incorporate cutting-edge technology to sustainably transform wastewater into a renewable energy source and Class A biosolid, a nutrient-rich soil amendment. The WPCP currently treats more than 23 million gallons of wastewater each day from residences and businesses.
