WASTEWATER ENGINEERING DESIGN

Today’s clients are facing increasing challenges in the arena of wastewater engineering and management. From increasing regulatory drivers to more limiting nutrient discharge limits as well as an increased focus on technological innovation in that arena; our clients are seeing their operational costs sky rocket.

To better assist our clients to navigate these challenges, we are working with them to develop innovative and sustainable engineering solutions; navigate policy changes; and develop system operations plans for the future growth and

budgeting plans; all while keeping cost increases to a minimum.

Additionally, we understand that water supplies are diminishing and protecting water sources is essential. This issue is one that we are seeing across the board and; working closely with our water engineers, our wastewater engineering team develops comprehensive and strategic water and wastewater plans that consider the correlation to develop innovative, across-the-board solutions. Additionally, our team works closely with our construction department to develop designs that can be feasibly and efficiently built.

Our team is experienced in water conveyance, storage and distribution. Our approach to wastewater engineering considers environmental consequences and community benefits of design as well.

Expertise includes:

• Wastewater engineering and treatment design • Structural engineering • Operational considerations • GIS • Construction observation and inspection
