UNITED STATES OF AMERICA —Fort Worth, Texas, is advancing a major wastewater infrastructure investment through a $537.9 million construction contract awarded to Ferrovial for the Mary’s Creek Water Reclamation Facility. The project will be executed by Webber, Ferrovial’s US construction subsidiary, and represents the infrastructure group's largest water-sector construction contract in the United States to date.
The greenfield facility will be developed in western Fort Worth with an initial wastewater processing capacity of 10 million gallons per day. Its treatment infrastructure will incorporate membrane bioreactor technology and advanced nutrient removal processes. The construction package covers preliminary treatment equipment, including coarse and fine screening and grit removal, equalization and peak-flow storage basins, bioreactors, advanced wastewater treatment systems, solids processing facilities and odor control installations. Electrical, instrumentation and control systems will also form part of the development.
Construction is scheduled to commence in November 2026, with completion targeted for summer 2030. Once operational, the facility will expand the municipality’s wastewater processing capabilities and provide an additional source of treated water for industrial consumption and irrigation. These applications could reduce demand on conventional freshwater supplies, particularly as population growth and commercial development increase pressure on regional water resources.
The investment addresses infrastructure requirements in western Fort Worth, where expanding residential and commercial activity is increasing demand for wastewater collection and treatment services. Establishing treatment capacity closer to the growing service area also supports the city's longer-term wastewater management strategy. The reclaimed-water component adds a resource-management dimension, creating opportunities to reuse treated wastewater rather than relying exclusively on conventional water supplies.
The contract has implications for the wider water infrastructure supply chain, including engineering contractors, treatment technology providers, equipment manufacturers, electrical systems suppliers and specialist construction companies. The deployment of membrane bioreactor technology also reflects the increasing importance of advanced treatment systems in municipal infrastructure development, particularly in regions facing water availability constraints.
For Ferrovial, the award expands its US infrastructure construction portfolio and strengthens its exposure to municipal water and environmental infrastructure projects. Through Webber, the group will participate in a large-scale public infrastructure development with a multiyear delivery schedule. For Fort Worth and surrounding stakeholders, the project represents a substantial investment in wastewater capacity and potential reclaimed-water availability, supporting future industrial activity, urban development and regional water resilience.
Ferrovial is a global infrastructure group involved in the development, construction and operation of transportation and other infrastructure assets. Its subsidiary Webber operates in the US construction market, with activities spanning civil infrastructure and water-related projects.
