EMCOR Group Inc.’s (EME) subsidiary Poole & Kent Company recently received a contract to install a reverse osmosis water treatment plant in Clearwater, FL. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Poole and Kent Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMCOR, is one of the leading mechanical contractors in the eastern U.S. In addition to its role as a commercial mechanical contractor, Poole and Kent also operates as a prime mechanical contractor and general contractor on various projects. The company’s primary clients include the U.S. Navy, National Institutes of Health and IBM (IBM).
As per the terms of the contract, Poole & Kent will primarily be responsible for the construction of a 6.5 million gallon per day reverse osmosis membrane water treatment facility. This facility will also include ozone treatment system and iron treatment system, which will transform brackish water into drinking water.
The contract also includes chemical storage and feed systems, groundwater storage tank, concentrate storage tank, pumping systems, emergency generator system and new building additions, as well as installation of all instrumentation, controls, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems.
