POTOMAC RIVER TUNNEL
LEARN MORE
DC Water has over the past decade undertaken monumental steps and invested hundreds of millions of dollars upgrading the D.C. region’s water and sewer system. The Potomac River Tunnel (PRT) Project, the next major phase of the DC Clean Rivers Project, is distinct from previous projects as it stands out as one of the most challenging tunnel projects in the history of DC Water due to its sensitive location, technical complexity, and risky geological profile. We understand that it is essential for DC Water to carefully select a partner who will bring both unmatched technical expertise and proven experience successfully delivering world-class, major tunneling projects in dense urban environments.
As an Equal Opportunity Employer, our team has an outstanding record for hiring, promoting, and retaining diverse, local workforces on our projects. CBNA achieved an 85% local ratio for the workforce on the challenging Port of Miami Tunnel Project and we plan to use the same approach to maximize local employment diversity and inclusion on the PRT Project. At Halmar, we source 90% or greater of local staff to work on our projects, and on average we achieve 40% of workforce diversity of the total project crew and offices.
The CBNA Halmar Clean Rivers JV understands the importance of supporting, local, small, woman-owned, disadvantaged and minority businesses in the markets we serve. Our team is fully committed to participate in DC Water’s disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) and women-owned business enterprise (WBE) Contracting and Local Employment Compliance programs and meet and/or exceed the Fair Share Objective of 28% DBE and 4% WBE professional services component goal and 32% DBE and 6% WBE for the construction component of this project as part of our design, subcontracting and supplier opportunities. We place a significant value on their contributions as they are a fundamental in our approach to deliver a successful project, adding strength, skilled talent and expertise, and local resources to our team.

PORT OF MIAMI TUNNEL
Constructed under a public-private partnership contract, the Port of Miami Tunnel links Watson Island to the Port of Miami, which was formerly served by a single highway. The new road is good for the economic development of the port zone and decongests downtown areas by removing the freight traffic that previously transited through the city.

HATCH
WEST AREA CSO STORAGE TUNNELS
This project was critical to bring CSOs into compliance with federal standards by eliminating CSOs to the environmentally sensitive Chattahoochee River and its tributaries. Hatch, as part of a joint venture, was retained by the City to design and provide CM services for 8.5 miles of 27‐ft‐dia.
