Ferrovial's Webber wins $538 million contract for Fort Worth's Mary's Creek water reclamation plant

The new plant, built on an undeveloped site, will treat 10 million gallons of wastewater a day and add treatment capacity for the growing west side of Fort Worth, according to Ferrovial. Treated water is meant to supply industrial users and irrigation. Work is scheduled to start in November 2026 and finish by summer 2030.

The design uses membrane bioreactors and advanced nutrient removal. Webber's scope, as listed in the release, covers basins that even out flows and hold peak flows, fitted with mixers; headworks with coarse and fine screens and grit removal; the bioreactors and advanced treatment; solids handling; odor control; and the electrical, instrumentation and controls work.

Ignacio Gaston, chief executive of Ferrovial Construction, linked the award to population growth across Texas and said Ferrovial is proud of the work with Fort Worth. Ferrovial said the job adds to Webber's other water work in the state. Spanish outlet Demócrata put the contract at about 478.6 million euros at current exchange rates and the plant's capacity at upward of 37.8 million liters a day.

Ferrovial did not say how the contract is structured, which subcontractors and equipment suppliers are on the team, or how much of the work Webber will perform with its own crews.
