Kamex was awarded this project by Illinois American Water in the Spring of 2021 and will continue to progress until the later part of 2023 before completion.
This project includes almost five miles of new sanitary sewer main in the Piasa Valley areas of Alton, along with approximately 300 homes or businesses will be hooked up to new sewer laterals.
When Illinois American Water acquired the Alton Regional Wastewater system the company made a commitment to address requirements set forth by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to remedy combined sewer overflows.

The Mississippi & Illinois River are in our back yard, but to be prequalified to work for the government is not an easy task. Our team has had the privilege of working on several levee rehabilitation projects, bentonite slurry walls, levee slides, and utility repairs on military bases.

We’ve worked very hard over these years to improve our equipment and to provide the best manpower to meet the needs of the client. We have separated ourselves from the competition when it comes to project schedule. When the client needs a pad delivered, we deploy multiple crews (mass earthwork, lime stabilization, and utility) to get the project done.
KAMEX has recently added a new division to the already broad range of services that we offer. We now have a team of individuals who can perform various forms of construction projects such as design, build, and remodel projects from beginning to end.
