LAS VEGAS, Nevada (April 24, 2026) – Kleinfelder has announced that the Apex Elevated Water Storage Reservoir and Kapex Well No. 2 Improvements project, delivered for the City of North Las Vegas, has received the Nevada Chapter of the American Public Works Association Project of the Year award in the Structures category for projects in the $10 million to $20 million range, with Kleinfelder recognized for its role in the project’s delivery.
The project enhances water system reliability and supports continued industrial and economic growth in the Apex Industrial Park, one of Southern Nevada’s fastest-growing employment centers.
Kleinfelder provided engineering, surveying, permitting, and coordination services for the project, which expands potable water infrastructure to support existing and future development. At the center of the project is a 1.25-million-gallon elevated water storage reservoir designed to improve system pressure, increase storage capacity, and enhance operational performance.
“The Apex project reflects a strong partnership with the City of North Las Vegas and a shared commitment to delivering infrastructure that supports long-term growth,” said Kleinfelder Project Manager Daisy Vidal, PE. “We are proud to contribute to a project that strengthens critical systems and provides lasting value to the community.”
In addition to the elevated reservoir, the project included approximately 3,000 linear feet of 24-inch potable water transmission main and a looped fiber optic communication network to improve system redundancy and operational reliability. A new supervisory control and data acquisition system enables remote monitoring and control from City facilities.
Improvements at Kapex Well No. 2, which serves as the water source for the elevated tank, included a new chemical chlorination system and electrical upgrades to support increased system demand. The design also incorporated advanced treatment and monitoring features, including a trihalomethane removal system and instrumentation to support automated operations.
The project required extensive coordination, including surveying, right-of-way acquisition, and stakeholder engagement with local agencies, utility providers, and adjacent property owners. Kleinfelder secured key easements and integrated the design with concurrent infrastructure improvements to support long-term development in the Apex area.
