Case Study: Johnson County Wastewater Office reaps sustainability and budget benefits with DIRTT

Johnson County Wastewater Office diverts 34,000 pounds of waste and finishes 2 weeks early with DIRTT

Johnson County Wastewater Office needed to refresh its 20-year-old office space to encourage post-COVID collaboration and update its technology. The public sector organization, having originally built with DIRTT's adaptable wall assemblies in 2004, faced the challenge of modernizing its 7,200-square-foot facility while maintaining a tight budget and continuity of service.

DIRTT provided the solution by reusing and reconfiguring the existing modular walls alongside some new, fully compatible components. This approach allowed the project to be completed two weeks ahead of schedule and under budget. The use of DIRTT's system had a substantial measurable impact: it diverted over 34,000 pounds of construction waste from landfills, avoided over 40 metric tons of emissions, and enabled the building to maintain its LEED Gold certification, with 74% of the new space built from the original materials.
