Water Treatment Facilities
J R Filanc Construction specializes in constructing advanced water treatment facilities that reclaim and recycle water resources. Our projects incorporate cutting-edge filtration systems and sustainable design principles to meet evolving environmental standards. We deliver complete turnkey solutions from initial design through final commissioning.
Wastewater Treatment Plants
We build comprehensive wastewater treatment infrastructure using physical, chemical, and biological processes to purify water. Our facilities produce environmentally-safe effluent while generating reusable biosolids. Recent projects include the award-winning Pala Casino wastewater treatment system.
Biosolids Management
Our biosolids management solutions convert treated sludge into renewable energy resources. We implement systems that safely process organic byproducts through thermal conversion and anaerobic digestion technologies, as demonstrated in the Rialto Regional Biosolids Processing Facility.
Renewable Energy Projects
We integrate renewable energy systems into water/wastewater infrastructure. Our projects convert biosolids into alternative fuels using patented SlurryCarb technology, producing over 60,000 tons of E-Fuel annually at full capacity while reducing environmental impact.

Our dedicated repair division provides rapid response for critical infrastructure failures. With 24/7 availability and pre-positioned resources in California and Arizona, we handle emergency situations involving confined spaces, hazardous materials, and complex system failures.
