Waste Water Treatment Plant — Cervecería Regional

Civil engineering execution for the foundation system supporting industrial decanter and biodigester tanks within a wastewater treatment facility located along Lake Maracaibo. The project required advanced ground stabilization and a reinforced floating mat foundation solution under high groundwater conditions.

The implemented engineering strategy reduced construction costs by approximately 50% (~$2M savings) while meeting environmental and structural compliance.
