RETTEW partners on natural gas project in Texas
Ed Gruver//October 8, 2024//
The RETTEW company, which has an office in Allentown, teamed with Synthica Energy, LLC, recently to break ground on their renewable natural gas plant in San Antonio, Texas.
Based in Cincinnati, Synthica Energy is a renewable natural gas (RNG) development company. The project is expected to be completed in 2026, per a release.
“We are thrilled to be part of this exciting project,” RETTEW President and CEO Clayton Bubeck said in a statement. “Our team’s dedication to innovation and sustainability has allowed us to deliver a solution that will have a lasting positive impact on the community.”
RETTEW worked on the project with Synthica Energy and Archer Western, Pape-Dawson Engineers, Webster Environmental Associates, and Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc.
According to a release, the anaerobic digestion facility is the first of its kind in the San Antonio area. The facility is expected to divert nearly 250,000 tons of organic waste from local landfills each year, creating RNG while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
As the project’s Engineer of Record, RETTEW provided engineering services, including civil, architectural, structural, electrical, process, mechanical, and instrumentation design. RETTEW’s seven-year partnership with Synthica includes their first RNG facility in Cincinnati, expected to be operational in early 2025.
Founded in 1969, RETTEW provides civil, transportation, environmental, and subsurface utility engineering; geophysics; land planning; surveying; safety consulting; and design-build construction services. The company has Pennsylvania offices in Allentown, Berwyn, Lancaster, Mechanicsburg, Pittsburgh, State College, and Williamsport. RETTEW also lists locations in St. Clairsville and Uniontown, Ohio, and Morgantown, West Virginia.
