| New desalination plant to be built in Southern California Developer Poseidon Resources Corporation has announced plans to design, construct, and launch a new desalination plant in Carlsbad, California, north of San Diego. PBS&J, one of the largest engineering-consulting firms based in the US, will join the team to create the $270 million dollar facility located at the coastal site of the Encina Power Station. When the plant opens in late 2009, it will pump 100 million gallons of ocean water per day through a reverse osmosis filtering process to render 50 million gallons of high-quality drinking water to roughly 300,000 citizens in San Diego County. The team, selected by Poseidon, is lead by Acciona Agua (formerly Pridesa America Corporation) and includes J.R. Filanc Construction Company, American Water and PBS&J. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
