The NYC DEP is undertaking a major rehabilitation of the final settling tanks and ancillary facilities at the Port Richmond Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility, the primary treatment plant serving northern Staten Island. The program will replace aging equipment, repair critical concrete structures, and improve pumping, ventilation, and lighting systems to extend the useful life of this essential facility.

ELECSYS is providing electrical and instrumentation and controls engineering design services in support of this work. The team is replacing and consolidating existing electrical, and I&C systems associated with the final settling tanks, including new service equipment, substation and distribution gear, motor control centers, variable-frequency drives, lighting, fire alarm, and SCADA/telemetry components. Careful staging and phasing strategies help keep treatment processes online while equipment is modernized and new systems are brought into service.

Working closely with NYC DEP and the prime consultant, ELECSYS is focused on delivering resilient, code-compliant designs that improve safety for operators, support reliable secondary treatment, and position the facility for decades of future operation. By upgrading the electrical backbone that supports the rehabilitated final settling tanks and associated systems, the project strengthens environmental protection for surrounding neighborhoods and the broader New York Harbor.
