Keller Group
Water, wastewater, and waste disposal facilities are essential public assets that must operate continuously, often within dense urban environments or active treatment plants. These projects frequently involve tight access, aging infrastructure, and the need to protect adjacent utilities and structures during construction.
Keller works with municipalities, utilities, and engineers to deliver geotechnical construction solutions that support new facilities, system upgrades, rehabilitation, and expansion while minimizing risk and disruption to ongoing operations.
Geotechnical construction solutions for water, sewage, and waste disposal
Keller provides a full range of geotechnical construction solutions for water and wastewater infrastructure using an integrated design‑build approach focused on constructability and risk reduction.
Our work supports treatment plants, conveyance systems, and disposal facilities through ground improvement, foundation support, groundwater cutoff systems, and earth retention for below‑grade construction. Keller delivers solutions designed by others or develops design‑build programs tailored to the site's specific constraints.
Combined Sewer Outfall (CSO) projects benefit from Keller’s experience with perimeter water cutoff systems and deep tunneling support. We also provide real‑time instrumentation and specialty grouting during tunneling operations to control ground behavior and protect adjacent and overhead structures. Where required, Keller delivers solutions that isolate contaminated groundwater and reduce environmental risk.
Keller’s experience in water and wastewater infrastructure
Keller has supported water and wastewater projects across North America, working within active plants, urban corridors, and constrained sites where service continuity and safety are paramount.
Our experience executing work in tight environments allows us to coordinate closely with owners and operators, manage risk to adjacent systems, and maintain facility operations throughout construction. This experience enables Keller to deliver durable subsurface solutions that support long‑term performance and regulatory compliance.
Sector challenges we can solve
- Construction in tight urban or active plant environments
- Protecting water and wastewater infrastructure from settlement and distress
- Supporting existing and planned facilities at operating plants
- Controlling risk to adjacent structures through real‑time monitoring
- Isolating contaminated groundwater and managing environmental exposure
