Joint Water Commission Water Treatment Plant:
Tapping more water for JWC
The JWC WTP is the primary drinking water supplier in Washington County, Oregon, and is responsible for treating, transmitting, and storing potable water for over 365,000 customers.
Lebanon Water Treatment Plant:
Brand new WTP for the City of Lebanon
The City of Lebanon is replacing its' aged WTP with a brand new Greenfield WTP. The new facility will have a capacity of 4.5 MGD, with the capability to be upgraded to 8 MGD.
Colorado Lift Station Upgrades
Bend’s sewer collection system is near capacity. In some areas, existing sewer pipes routinely approach overflow levels. In parts of the city it is difficult for Bend to add any major new employer or residential development. The Colorado Lift Station project upgrades and replaces the undersized and deficient Shevlin station in McKay Park.
Management Skills that Help Reduce Costs
"We have been impressed with their management skills, starting with preconstruction where they performed value engineering that reduced costs, lead procurement with detailed bid packages that brought our project qualified subcontractors and manufacturers and produced a schedule that would get our project completed on time. Slayden has continued this into the construction phase by managing the work to stay on schedule."
Randy Rosane, P.E., Project Manager with Water Environmental Services
Positive and Goal-Driven
"Slayden’s positive approach and eagerness to achieve the project goals was a tremendous benefit and a driving force to the project and its success. Slayden achieved all minority, woman, and emerging small business subcontracting goals and also met the 20% Workforce Training and Hiring Program’s apprenticeship requirements. They also held their subcontractors to these same goals and requirements."
Michelle Lostra, P.E., City of Portland, Water Bureau
Strong Communication and Community Outreach
"I feel confident in recommending Slayden for their approach to neighborhood outreach and desire to work with our community outreach and communications team to help keep neighbors informed, resolve issues and mitigate issues."
Katy Fulton, Lake Oswego – Tigard Water Partnership
Efficient and Safe
"I enjoyed their management style, which was efficient while paying attention to cost. This was done without sacrificing safety. I would welcome the chance to work with them in the future."
Daniel G Shepard, Manager, Grants Pass Irrigation District
Positive Relationship Builders
"Slayden has met all conditions of approval and does a great job of keeping the neighborhood informed. Slayden works diligently to accommodate the neighboring citizens. In several cases, Slayden has gone above and beyond the conditions of approval in an effort to solve citizen’s issues. This has led to the development of relationships between the project team and the neighborhood, which have contributed to the project in a positive manner."
Thomas Lebo, Construction Manager, Brown and Caldwell
Respectful, Courteous, and Safe
"Slayden Construction is true to their word, without a doubt I would hire them for future projects. All of the employees that worked at the plant were respectful, courteous, and preformed the duties at hand in a safe manner. I can’t say enough good things about Slayden, as you can see in this evaluation. Surround yourself with good people and it makes you look good. And it doesn’t get any better than Slayden Construction."
