Brasfield & Gorrie Ranked Among Top Healthcare Contractors; Selected to Build Water Treatment Plant

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (March 23 and 25, 2015)—Brasfield & Gorrie announced that the company has been ranked among the top healthcare general contractors in the nation by Modern Healthcare. In its 2015 survey of construction and design companies, Modern Healthcare magazine ranked Brasfield & Gorrie #3 among the top general contractors in healthcare construction, based on 2014 revenues.

Brasfield & Gorrie landed near the top of the list, with more than $1.38 billion in dollar revenue for completed healthcare construction projects in 2014, up 36 percent from 2013. The company built more than 4.1 million square feet of healthcare projects, with 41 percent of its work in this sector. Modern Healthcare has consistently ranked Brasfield & Gorrie as one of the nation’s top healthcare general contractors since 1998.

The rankings coincide with the company’s recent announcement that it has been selected to build a new greenfield water treatment plant for Huntsville Utilities in Huntsville, Alabama. Brasfield & Gorrie will begin work on the new $83 million Southeast Water Treatment Plant in March 2015.

“As one of the nation’s leading contractors in heavy civil construction, we look forward to building this project, which will expand Huntsville Utilities’ water supply and relieve pressure from its two existing plants,” said Brasfield & Gorrie Regional President Brian Barr.

Located on a 266-acre site near the intersection of Highway 431 and Guntersville Dam Road, the facility is expected to treat 12 million gallons of drinking water per day. The scope of the project includes a raw water intake structure, 42-inch raw water main pipelines, a conventional settling water treatment plant and a 48-inch finished water main pipeline, all of which will be completed in March 2018. With a strong portfolio of water and wastewater treatment facilities, Brasfield & Gorrie’s selection for this project reflects its track record of success in heavy civil construction and underscores the company’s growing presence in the Huntsville area. Not far from the Huntsville Utilities site, Brasfield & Gorrie is currently constructing two test stands for components of the SLS rocket under development by NASA at the Marshall Space Flight Center.
