Garrett A. Morgan Pump Station Plant
Faced with an aging system and a growing population, the City of Cleveland needed a better way to provide safe, reliable water for drinking. The city embarked on a major plant enhancement program to modernize its waterworks plants. It contracted National Engineering Contracting Co. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc.) to build a finished water-pumping station and demolish a 5 million gallon cell of the existing reservoir.

Owner:

City of Cleveland

Location:

Cleveland, Ohio

Contract Value:

$42.3 million

Construction of the new station involved erecting a building, 13 pumps and an outdoor substation, along with piping improvements. Water to the new building will be supplied from an existing 20 million gallon reservoir.

This new building, with its Spanish tile roofing, arched windows, and mezzanine flooring, is as attractive as it is functional. It captures the look of the former facility built in the early 1900s.
