Skanska, along with joint venture partner ECCO III Enterprises, has won a $848 million contract to construct a reservoir project in Yonkers, New York. The Sweden-based firm’s share of the contract is 75%, or $630 million.
ECCO III Enterprises is a civil engineer based in Yonkers, founded in 1971.
Work began on the Hillview Reservoir Chemical Addition Facilities Construction project in August 2024, according to the release, with expected completion in 2030.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection decided in March 2019 to cover the concrete-lined Hillview Reservoir, built in 1917, to comply with the Safe Water Drinking Act. The reservoir is a key supply of drinking water for New York City, providing up to 100% of its clean drinking water, per The Yonkers Ledger.
