West Yost provided construction management and inspection for this $102M wastewater treatment plant project which included a 12.6 mgd advanced treatment system and two-mile pipeline to the outfall location on the east embankment of the San Joaquin River.
Facilities included:
- Triple-train biological nutrient removal (BNR) aeration tanks
- Membrane filtration
- UV disinfection Building
- Primary effluent pump station
- Tertiary effluent pump station
- Two aeration blower buildings equipped with high-speed turbo blowers
- Electrical building
- Operations center building
- Maintenance facility
- Two miles of 36-inch diameter welded steel cement mortar lined and coated conveyance pipeline
A key element was West Yost’s development of 3D models of the new facilities at the Modesto plant. These models provide a valuable tool for the West Yost CM team, the contractor, and the operations staff to identify conflicts, conduct preplanning work, and address access requirements and operational issues.

“After working for many years in construction I now provide quality assurance inspections to ensure projects are built as intended. I like starting with a clean slate and ending with a finished project.
I like being part of the process. I’m proud that everybody benefits from the higher quality drinking water and river discharge water that our projects provide.”

“I am passionate about my job! I see my clients and the contractor on a day-to-day basis, face-to-face. I enjoy getting to know them and their work styles. My goal is to meet their needs so that the whole team can have a successful project. Start-up is one of my favorite phases because using my experiences from prior projects, I can head off challenges before they impact the project cost and schedule. It is rewarding to start from nothing, coordinate a large team, pull in large equipment, and bring a system to life!
I am proud of the successful completion of the City of Modesto Headworks, Dryden Box, Influent Flume Improvements Project this year. Working together with the City and Contractor to continue the Headworks project safely and effectively amidst the pandemic, which was quite a feat considering nobody on the project contracted the virus. I created a collaborative team and was able to show value to the City, which led to winning the River Trunk Realignment Project, so we can continue support to the City for the coming year.”
