PHOENIX, Ariz. (Oct. 26, 2026) – For four decades, PCL Construction Inc. has helped Arizona communities expand, modernize and connect the water infrastructure essential to the state’s growth. PCL marked the milestone this week in Phoenix with employees, clients, consultants and industry partners who helped grow its Civil operation from a small local team into a workforce of more than 900 employees.

“Having so many of the people who have been part of our Arizona story together in one room made this milestone especially meaningful,” said Ankur Talwar, PCL Civil district manager in the West. “Our growth over the past 40 years reflects the relationships we’ve built with our employees, clients and partners. It was a chance to thank them and celebrate what we’ve accomplished together.”

PCL’s Arizona portfolio includes projects that expand capacity, renew critical facilities, and strengthen connections between major water systems:

  • Serving 100,000 additional Gilbert residents: The City of Gilbert's North Water Treatment Plant Expansion will increase treatment capacity to 60 million gallons per day once complete.
  • Renewing a critical Phoenix facility: PCL’s repeat collaborations with the City of Phoenix include rehabilitation of the 24th Street Water Treatment Plant, which serves 400,000 residents in Northern Phoenix.
  • Connecting major water sources: The Zone 3D and 4A Improvements Program includes a 76-million-gallon-per-day booster pump station connecting Phoenix's Salt River and Colorado River water systems, giving the city greater flexibility as water allocations fluctuate.

PCL remains committed to working alongside clients and industry partners to advance collaborative delivery methods and deliver the resilient infrastructure communities depend on. Since establishing its Civil operations in Arizona, PCL has expanded across the United States, while growing its capabilities, operations and employee-owner workforce.

As Arizona prepares for continued growth and increasing pressure on its water resources, PCL will continue investing in its people, strengthening partnerships, and helping build the infrastructure that serve communities for generations.
