Carolina Civilworks completed the site utilities package for the Healing Transitions for Women Addition project in Raleigh, working alongside Clancy & Theys. The scope included installation of water line, sanitary sewer, and storm drain infrastructure to support the new residential addition.

A major component of the project was installation of a large underground detention system CMP supplied by Contech Engineered Solutions. Due to the size and location of the detention system, this phase became a critical path item for the overall project schedule.

The system was located directly adjacent to the building footprint and occupied a large portion of the existing parking lot, making early installation essential before vertical construction could begin. To facilitate the work, Carolina Civilworks also completed sanitary sewer relocations that conflicted with the detention system and building footprint.

Once the relocation work and detention system were completed, crews were able to move into the upstream and downstream storm drain installation and continue into the water line portion of the project. Carolina Civilworks self-performed 100% of the utility work on the project.

Projects like this highlight the importance of experience, coordination, and trust between contractor and client. Clancy & Theys relied on Carolina Civilworks to deliver a schedule-critical portion of the project safely, efficiently, and on time, which continues to be a big part of the long-standing working relationship between us.

Carolina Civilworks is currently constructing the Ponder Pump Station for the Ammons Acres development on behalf of Brookfield Residential. This pump station will ultimately serve the entire development once buildout is complete, making it a key piece of the project’s long-term infrastructure.

Our scope is focused on the full on-site pump station construction, including all underground and above-ground piping, as well as installation of the precast wet well and associated structures. We’re self-performing the work with the exception of electrical, which is being handled by Wilson & Coffield.

Instead of using a traditional crane, we partnered with Dean’s Wrecker Service who utilized their rotating boom trucks to fly the structure into place. It ended up being a more efficient and cost-effective approach while still getting the job done safely.

At this stage, all major piping and precast structures are in place. We’re moving into final site components, including the pad for the odor control and electrical building, with electrical work already underway.

Pump stations like this are a core part of what we do. It’s a space we’ve spent years working in, and projects like Ponder are a good example of that experience in action. This also marks our second pump station project with Brookfield, continuing a relationship we’ve built through past work in the area.

Carolina Civilworks recently completed the Porter’s Neck Booster Pump Station Replacement for Cape Fear Public Utility Authority. The existing station had been in place for decades and was starting to fall behind as the area continued to grow, making it time for an upgrade.

We replaced the station right in its original location — keeping the existing concrete slab, removing the old unit, and setting a new, fully assembled station back in place. By coordinating the work during a low-demand period, we were able to isolate the system and keep downtime to a minimum while completing the swap efficiently.

The new station features larger piping and more efficient, higher-capacity pumps to help maintain system pressure for a growing community. Our team self-performed the project, with Coastline Electric assisting on the electrical connections. Thank you to CFPUA for trusting Carolina Civilworks to deliver this upgrade.

Carolina Civilworks is proud to be a continued sponsor of Camp Victory’s 6th Annual Swinging for Victory Golf Tournament and Fundraiser.

Held at Lonnie Poole Golf Course on May 4th, this tournament helps raise funds for Camp Victory and the work they’re doing through Moore’s Keep Christian Camp. Each summer, Camp Victory gives kids ages 8–17 the chance to spend a week at camp growing in their faith, building friendships, and hearing the truth of the Gospel.

For many families, the cost of camp can be a real barrier. The Camp Victory Scholarship Program helps make sure those financial hurdles don’t keep kids from experiencing what camp can offer. Funds from this tournament help provide those scholarships and support improvements to the camp facilities so they can continue reaching more young people.

We’re thankful for the opportunity to support an organization that’s investing in the next generation and sharing the message of Christ.

Looking forward to teeing it up on May 4th.

Carolina Civilworks was contracted directly by DRB (Dan Ryan Builders) to construct a new wastewater pump station in Angier, North Carolina, as part of the second phase of their Station Pointe residential development. The new pump station was required to support increased sewer demand from new homes being added in this phase of the project.

This wasn’t just a new install—it also replaced an aging pump station serving an adjacent, older subdivision located directly behind the site. By building a new station with greater capacity, the project supports both the current DRB development and existing residential areas across the nearby creek.

Carolina Civilworks self-performed nearly all aspects of the project, including:
• Excavation and shoring
• Precast structure installation
• Piping and pump installation
• Site improvements at the new station
• Demolition of the existing pump station (scheduled following startup of the new system)

The new pump station is expected to come online in early 2026, with final demo of the old station taking place shortly after.

This water main extension project for Cape Fear Public Utility Authority is laying the groundwork—literally—for future development in the northern corridor of New Hanover County near Castle Hayne. The work involves just under 20,000 feet of 16-inch water line installed primarily by open cut. About 250 feet are being completed using jack and bores, and another 1,500 feet via directional drills.

The alignment is split between two main areas—along N. College Road and Blue Clay Road. It includes both roadside right-of-way and significant stretches of cross-country installation through wooded areas, where we’ve cleared and grubbed new easements. Some sections are tight—corridors as narrow as 20 to 30 feet—leaving little breathing room for pipe installation, especially with the size of equipment it takes to handle 16-inch PVC.

The project includes multiple connections to the existing water system and new service connections to properties previously on well water. The scope is straightforward—but the limited workspace has added a layer of complexity.

We started work in May 2025 and expect to wrap up in the next several weeks, by the end of February 2026.

We appreciate the opportunity to play a role in supporting the future growth and development of northern New Hanover County and are proud to be part of the team helping make that possible.

We recently hit a big milestone on the Pump Station 9 Replacement project in downtown Wilmington. After months of deep excavation and shoring work, we finally set the precast wet well structure. Getting this in the ground marked the end of the messiest phase of the job—and the beginning of work that’s a little easier to see above grade.

This new wet well is 30 feet deep and sits 25 feet below sea level, right next to the Cape Fear River. The site is tight and the soil conditions have been tough, so getting to this point took a lot of heavy lifting—literally. We’ve driven piles, braced a deep excavation, and worked around an active, aging pump station that’s still carrying most of downtown Wilmington’s sewer flow.

With the structure set and excavation backfilled, we’re moving onto foundation work for the new pump station building. Because of the poor soils, we’ll be driving timber piles to support that foundation. Then we’ll pour the cast-in-place concrete that forms the base of the new building.

That building will house everything—valve vault, discharge piping, electrical panels, control panels, power distribution, and the generator. In the end, it’s a clean, weather-tight home for all the systems that keep this station running.

The existing pump station up front stays in service until everything is up and running in the new one. So for a little while, both buildings will be sitting side by side—only one doing the work.

More to come as the building starts coming out of the ground.

We recently wrapped up a big one in Oxford and took a minute to enjoy a well-earned lunch with the crew. The team at Carolina Civilworks, along with our trade partners, put in a ton of hard work to bring this wastewater treatment plant upgrade across the finish line.

The project included a little bit of everything:

Rehabbing and upgrading both the duplex and triplex pump stations.
Installing new submersible pumps.
Pouring a new splitter box and tying in a new sludge line.
Constructing a new electrical building with VFDs, PLCs, and about 3,000 feet of duct bank.
Installing new disc filters for better filtration and efficiency.
And making sure every upgrade worked together to boost reliability and flow control across the whole plant.

We self-performed just about everything on this one—everything except the electrical work (shout out to Bitting Electric) and coatings (handled by CMT). Big thanks to CDM Smith for the engineering support, and to our other partners like Veolia and everyone else who made this project a success.

It’s always satisfying to wrap up a job knowing it’s built to last. Thanks to the City of Oxford for the opportunity—and thanks again to everyone who helped get it done.

The bypass setup at Eno River Lift Station has been one of the biggest parts of this job—and for good reason. That station handles a huge portion of Durham’s flow, with pumps ranging from 250 to 500 horsepower. The bypass was built to handle the highest flows ever recorded there.

It includes three primary pumps and five backups for failures or peak flow events. The pumps are set on a stone base we built on site, and all the black piping is HDPE, fused and tied into the City’s permanent bypass connections. Titan Services handled the bypass install—we supported with the pad and some gear, but they took care of the fusing and tie-ins.

With flow redirected, we moved into the valve and piping replacement. That includes three 24-inch pipe trains, two 16-inch pipe trains, and a 36-inch header. We also cleaned out the wet well, removed sludge, and sandblasted all concrete in prep for an epoxy coating (Raven 404), which Done Right Services is installing.

Out front, we’re installing a 16-inch surge valve to protect the force main from water hammer—it’ll vent surges safely back into the wet well.

Piping is wrapping up this week. Coatings and final valve work should finish by mid-December. Most of this job is self-performed by the CCI crew.

Big thanks to Titan Services and Done Right Services for their support!

The Western North Ridge project is part of the ongoing stormwater improvements within the North Ridge Drainage Basin. This area, in and around North Ridge Country Club, has dealt with long-standing drainage issues, and this marks the third major project Carolina Civilworks has completed in the neighborhood.

Our work included significant stormwater upgrades through the main corridor and surrounding residential areas. Along the corridor, we completed stream restoration and channel improvements, including new boulder walls for stabilization and flow control. We also replaced aging infrastructure — removing old storm drain pipes and upsizing the system with new box culverts and large diameter RCP.

While in the area, we also upgraded existing utilities, including new water and sewer lines, as well as rehabilitation of older sewer segments. Restoration efforts included grading, stream planting, landscaping, and full surface restoration with new asphalt, curb, and sidewalk.

These improvements will greatly reduce flooding concerns and improve long-term drainage and infrastructure reliability throughout the neighborhood and the North Ridge Basin.
