To expand experience in design-build and construction management at risk of delivery municipal infrastructure projects, PC Construction is ENR MidAtlantic’s 2026 Contractor of the Year.
The South Burlington, Vt.-based company says its 75% increase in design-build contracts is “a direct reflection of owner confidence in our collaborative approach.”
PC says he anticipated the need for CMAR and progressive design and “built the team and systems to deliver it, and continues to grow because of it.”
ENR’s Regional Contractors of the Year demonstrate growth and revenue in their respective region, as well as innovation, creativity and a commitment to giving back to their communities.
PC Construction will be featured in the July issue of ENR East, which will also feature the region’s top contractor rankings.
The ENR East Contractor Ranking includes companies doing business in Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, DC, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. The rankings are based on the total regional construction revenue of the participating companies, and also include a breakdown by state revenue and various specialties and disciplines, as appropriate.
PC’s contributions to industry and the communities in which it works are extensive. As part of its recently completed Piscataway WRRF Bioenergy project in Accokeek, Md.PC Construction worked with WSSC Water to hire 34 Minority Enterprises (MBEs) and Small Local Enterprises (SLBEs) on the project, supporting nearly 150 MBE/SLBE jobs.
PC committed to award more than $40 million of the project to MBE/SLBE companies. By the end of the project, that goal had been exceeded by more than $3 million.
PC supports more than 100 community nonprofits each year through a combination of time, pro bono services, and sponsorship. Employee-owners have an impact not only on the built landscape, but also on their communities, actively organizing food drives and cleanups, educational opportunities, and community contributions.
The company attracts talent across the trades and across the industry through its leadership development program. The involvement of the company in the Vermont Academy of Construction helps provide hands-on training and post-secondary certification to those interested in the trades.
Last year, PC Construction’s $201.83 million in revenue in the East region placed the company 78th in ENR East’s Top Contractors Ranking. To find out where the company ranks on this year’s list, pick up a copy of the July issue of ENR East.
Notable PC Construction projects include:
Piscataway Water Reclamation Facility Bioenergy Project, Accokeek, Maryland: The recently completed $269 million progressive design-build project is the largest and most technically advanced project WSSC Water has built in its 106-year history and is one of only seven facilities in the country to incorporate an advanced thermal hydrolysis process to transform biosolids. The project changes the way WSSC Water manages biosolids from the six water reclamation facilities, significantly reducing the volume and creating Class A biosolids that can be marketed as a soil amendment. The process captures and cleans digester gas to help power the facility, generating approximately $4 million annually in revenue, saving WSSC Water customers approximately $3.4 million annually in operating costs, and further reducing WSSC Water’s greenhouse gas emissions. Some of the bioenergy generated is also sold to Montgomery County to power part of its Ride On bus fleet.
Motts Run Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Pumping Station Expansion and Rehabilitation Phase 2, Fredericksburg, Virginia: The long-planned expansion of the water treatment plant, the only source of drinking water for the city of Fredericksburg, is under construction. This major infrastructure project, totaling $142.1 million, will increase the plant’s treatment capacity from 12 million gallons per day (mgd) to 24 mgd, helping to meet future water demand for both the city and Spotsylvania County. Once complete, the expansion will provide an additional 2 mgd of potable water, increasing the city’s total available supply to 7 mgd to support future growth and development.
Arlington Re-Gen Biosolids Upgrade, Arlington County, Virginia: This progressive design-build project is the first of this delivery method for Arlington County, which is expected to total approximately $300 million. This project will modernize the solids handling facilities at the Arlington County Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) and incorporate cutting-edge technology to sustainably transform wastewater into a renewable energy source and a Class A biosolid, a nutrient-rich soil amendment. The WPCP currently treats more than 23 million gallons of wastewater each day from residences and businesses.
