First Solar Water Treatment Facility (Water District No. 3 Of Iberia Parish)
New Iberia, LA
DIVISION
Southern Constructors is proud to have completed the first-ever solar water treatment facility in New Iberia, Louisiana—a groundbreaking project that brought together every division of our company in a unified effort.
Our team completed the entire project in just 9 months—without compromising safety or quality. This achievement stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence, efficiency, and teamwork.
​
This facility is engineered to filter thousands of gallons of water daily, supporting the adjacent 2.4 million sq. ft. solar panel manufacturing facility for First Solar. Our work ensures a sustainable and reliable water system tailored for one of the most advanced renewable energy sites in the region.
​
Southern Constructors completed the entirety of this project, in-house, with our own divisions (minus having to sub-out the water wells). Every yellow fabrication component—from custom brackets to large structural assemblies—was measured, cut, and built in-house with absolute precision. We had one shot to get it right, and we delivered.
​
While First Solar’s development represents New Iberia’s largest investment in history, we are honored to have played a key role in its success by delivering the critical water treatment infrastructure that helps power its mission.
Southern Constructors – Built Right. Every Time.
