Central Berkeley WTTP

We proudly partnered with M. B. Kahn on this project that included over 1,000 tons of reinforcing steel installed, 4,000 cubic yards of concrete poured, elevated cast-in-place decks, radius walls & straight walls.

For the radius walls, our team utilized the MEVA Adjustable Radius (MAR) formwork system, a customizable solution specifically designed for water and wastewater treatment structures requiring precision curved geometry.

The MAR system arrived on site in pre-assembled units with the radius already calibrated, allowing our crews to quickly offload, pick, and set panels directly into position with the crane. Compared to traditional radius forming systems that often require hundreds of loose components and extensive field assembly, this approach significantly reduced setup time, labor requirements, and overall installation complexity.
The ability to easily adjust radius settings between pours also provides ongoing efficiency as work advances around the structure.

We also utilized MEVA Formwork Systems 32 shoring tower system. This formwork system delivers both strength and efficiency — featuring an aluminum frame with a load capacity of 32 kips (142 kN) while weighing just 49 lbs per frame. Its foldable design allows for easy relocation without dismantling the entire unit, improving safety, productivity, and cycle time on site.

Progress like this keeps critical infrastructure moving forward.
