• The $269 million Piscataway Water Resource Recovery Facility Bioenergy Project earned an Award of Merit in the Water/Environment category and the Excellence in Sustainability Award.
• The recognition follows PC Construction's 2022 Contractor of the Year honour from ENR Southeast.
• The company also cited its $256 million Arlington Re-Gen Biosolids Upgrade as a major project in its Mid-Atlantic portfolio.

Water infrastructure construction and advanced biosolids processing were central to PC Construction's latest industry recognition, with the contractor receiving three honours at ENR's 2026 Mid-Atlantic awards celebration in Baltimore. The awards included regional Contractor of the Year and two project-level distinctions for a major wastewater treatment facility.

Contractor of the Year Recognition Highlights Regional Work

PC Construction received the Mid-Atlantic Contractor of the Year award, four years after earning the same distinction from ENR Southeast. The recognition reflects the company's regional project portfolio and its work with clients, engineering partners and local communities.

Two major projects cited by the company include the $269 million Piscataway Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) Bioenergy Project and the $256 million Arlington Re-Gen Biosolids Upgrade. Both projects involve significant investment in wastewater and biosolids infrastructure.

Piscataway Bioenergy Project Earns Two Awards

The Piscataway WRRF Bioenergy Project received an Award of Merit in ENR's Water/Environment category and the Excellence in Sustainability Award. PC Construction received the honours alongside engineering partners Stantec and Hazen.

The facility is the largest and most technically advanced project undertaken by WSSC Water in its 106-year history. It also ranks among seven facilities nationwide to incorporate an advanced Thermal Hydrolysis Process, which treats biosolids to support more efficient processing and conversion into bioenergy.

The project demonstrates the role of advanced treatment technologies in modernizing wastewater infrastructure and improving how utilities manage biosolids.

Why It Matters

Aging water and wastewater systems require substantial investment in treatment capacity, resource recovery and operational efficiency. Projects such as the Piscataway WRRF Bioenergy facility illustrate how advanced biosolids technologies can be incorporated into major infrastructure upgrades. Recognition across contractor performance, water and sustainability categories also highlights the importance of collaboration among construction companies, engineering consultants and public utility owners.
