AUSTIN, TX — Ferrovial, through its construction subsidiary Webber, was selected to build two water facilities in Texas, with contracts totaling approximately $720 million. The construction projects will make significant improvements to the existing water infrastructure in the fast-growing cities of Austin and Fort Worth, Texas.

In Austin, as part of the I-35 Capital Express Central project by the Texas Department of Transportation, the team will build a 105-foot-deep pump station with four concrete volute pumps. This CAPEX Pump Station will intake water from draining tunnels along the corridor as a means of flood and stormwater management, with a total pumping capacity of 260,000 gallons per minute. The contract awarded amounted to $426 million. Construction is underway and is expected to be completed in late 2028.

City of Fort Worth’s Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant Expansion project will increase the capacity of the existing plant by 35 million gallons per day of potable water. The scope of work includes construction of ozone generation and disinfection systems, flocculation and sedimentation basins, media biological filters, and a membrane filtration building. Fort Worth’s rapid growth has resulted in increased water demand, necessitating a project of this scale to meet future local needs. The contract awarded amounted to $295 million. Construction is underway and expected to be completed in 2029.
