SALT LAKE CITY, UT – Valued at over $600 million, the New Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) is one of the largest public works projects ever undertaken by Salt Lake City. Scheduled for completion in 2026, the state-of-the-art facility will replace the city’s only wastewater treatment plant, a 55-year-old system that currently processes 33 million gallons of wastewater per day. Once complete, the new facility will serve more than 200,000 residents and businesses across a 110-square-mile service area with reliable, sustainable treatment capacity of 56 million gallons per day.
More than a replacement project, the WRF is designed to set a new standard for sustainable infrastructure. The facility will meet all current seismic codes and incorporate advanced biological nutrient removal (BNR) systems to reduce phosphorus levels in wastewater, helping the city comply with current and future environmental regulations. Project goals also include achieving Envision Platinum certification for infrastructure sustainability and LEED Gold for select buildings, ensuring the facility provides long-term value to the community.
Sundt Construction, a long-time SINAK partner with over 20 years of experience using SINAK products, recognized early challenges with the specified wet-curing method. Wet curing required a minimum of seven days per pour, tying up labor, delaying follow-on trades, and consuming massive amounts of water. These issues threatened both the schedule and the sustainability goals of the facility, making a proven alternative essential.
After reviewing SINAK’s test data and history of successful performance on other high-profile projects, Engineer AECOM and the project team approved the use of LithiumCure 1000 as a direct replacement for wet curing. Independent testing confirmed that concrete treated with LithiumCure 1000 meets or exceeds the performance of a full 28-day wet cure across key indicators of strength, durability, and service life—all with a single, easy spray application.
The benefits were immediate. Sundt’s crews saved several days on every pour, avoided costly labor tied to wet curing, and maintained progress even through harsh winter conditions. The switch also delivered measurable sustainability results: eliminating water waste, conserving resources, and extending the lifespan of the treated concrete.
With NSF/ANSI-61 and NSF/ANSI-372 certification, LithiumCure 1000 ensures compliance and safety for a facility where water quality is paramount. As the next generation of curing technology, it not only accelerates strength gain and enhances long-term durability but also delivers proven environmental responsibility. With Zero VOCs, verified EPD and HPD documentation, and a Red List Free Declare Label, LithiumCure 1000 empowers projects to meet the highest sustainability standards and earn LEED points—while providing unmatched curing performance for critical infrastructure.
For more than 40 years, SINAK has pioneered innovative solutions that replace outdated concrete curing methods. By eliminating the costly delays, water waste, and failures associated with traditional practices, SINAK products help owners, engineers, and contractors deliver higher-performing slabs from the start—because together we can Build Something Better.
