Reynolds Plantation WTP
Greensboro, Georgia
The project was initially bid as a traditional design/bid/build. Lakeshore collaborated with the owner to develop the project into a CMAR that saved $3M.
Working closely with Fortis Engineering, the owner’s engineer, the team evaluated three approaches: a package plant, membrane treatment, and a traditional filtration system. For each option, Lakeshore provided detailed cost estimates and scheduling projections to inform decision-making.
The owner chose a traditional filtration system. However, the final design incorporated an innovative twist on this approach, with Lakeshore recommending mechanical flocculation over conventional methods, significantly reducing concrete requirements and project costs.
After obtaining approval from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division for the Detailed Design Report, the team established a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and formalized the CMAR contract.
Lakeshore's preconstruction and construction approaches facilitated project completion in 18 months without disrupting hotel or golf course operations. Our in-house field engineering crew ensured precise installation according to design specifications while maintaining detailed records for as-built documentation. The team carefully coordinated site grading with utility piping installation, working harmoniously with the existing topography.
Lakeshore Engineering contracted with Piedmont Water to serve as the Construction Manager at Risk for constructing a new 2 MGD water treatment plant to serve Reynolds Plantation.
