Roseburg-Based Romtec Utilities Contributes to Two Nationally Recognized Infrastructure Projects
Roseburg-based Romtec Utilities contributed to two major infrastructure projects selected for national recognition by the American Society of Civil Engineers, including work at Portland International Airport and a water purification facility in Los Angeles.
ROSEBURG, Ore. - Two major infrastructure projects involving Roseburg-based Romtec Utilities have received national recognition from the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The Hyperion Advanced Water Purification Facility in Playa del Rey, California, and the Portland International Airport Terminal Core Redevelopment Phase One were selected as recipients of the organization’s 2026 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Honor Award.
The two projects are among 12 selected for the national honor, which recognizes civil engineering work that improves communities, supports public health and safety, and advances the profession. The top three projects will be announced Oct. 15 during the ASCE OPAL Gala in Reston, Virginia.
“It is an honor to see two projects we were a part of recognized among the world’s leading civil engineering achievements,” Romtec Utilities President Ben Cooper said in a release. “These projects show how reliable water and wastewater infrastructure support public health, sustainability and long-term community growth.”
The Hyperion Advanced Water Purification Facility can produce up to 1.5 million gallons of purified recycled water each day. The facility is intended to help Los Angeles reuse water while reducing demand on potable water supplies.
Romtec Utilities supplied a water treatment pump station package for the project, including a wastewater lift station and two self-priming pump skids.
In Oregon, Romtec Utilities contributed to the first phase of Portland International Airport’s $2 billion terminal modernization project. The redevelopment includes a mass timber roof, seismic improvements, expanded passenger areas and other sustainability-focused upgrades.
Romtec Utilities designed, manufactured and supplied the airport’s main wastewater pump station. The Roseburg company has also completed several other pump station projects for the Port of Portland over the years.
Romtec Utilities designs and manufactures site-specific packaged pump systems for water, wastewater, stormwater, clean water and industrial applications. Additional information about the company is available at romtecutilities.com.
