New Mexico 4 Corners Water Treatment Plant

Location: Santa Clara Pueblo, NM

General Contractor: Khap'o Construction Services

Project Type: Public Infrastructure / Water Treatment

Building Dimensions: 63' x 73' PEMB

Securing the Region's Water Future

Clean, reliable water infrastructure is critical to the health and growth of any community. Located in the Santa Clara Pueblo, the new 4 Corners Water Treatment Plant is a state-of-the-art iron and manganese package water treatment facility designed to ensure long-term water quality for the region.

The facility is engineered to treat a designated portion of the water drawn from River Wells 1, 2, 3, and 4, while efficiently bypassing the remaining untreated water for agricultural irrigation use. Built with future growth in mind, the plant will launch with an initial treatment capacity of 1,000,000 gallons per day, with the built-in infrastructure to seamlessly expand to 2,000,000 gallons per day as community needs dictate.

Streamlined PEMB Procurement and Engineering

For the main facility structure, a 63' x 73' Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) was selected for its durability, cost-effectiveness, and speed of assembly.

Similar to our successful deployment on the Alhambra project, RPM Team took a comprehensive role in managing the procurement and engineering of the metal building. Rather than treating the structure as just another material order, our team managed the entire lifecycle of the PEMB—from initial manufacturer coordination and structural engineering integration to navigating the complex submittal and approval processes.

By actively managing the supply chain and engineering constraints upfront, RPM was able to bypass typical procurement delays. We worked hand-in-hand with the General Contractor, Khap'o Construction Services, to ensure that the building arrived on-site accurately engineered, fully coordinated, and ready for rapid erection, keeping this critical infrastructure project moving forward without hesitation.
