Summary
This contract is for necessary construction improvements to the Keller Polyphosphate Building. Polyphosphate is a chemical used to inhibit corrosion in water supply pipelines. The Polyphosphate Building located at the S.K.

Project upgrades include expansion of the building, the addition of a new roof, air conditioning unit, and all process equipment housed within the building.
