Wastewater Planning As a consulting firm, wastewater facility planning has been a primary element of our civil department. Preliminary Engineering Reports and Facility Plans provide an in-depth study which provides recommended treatment options for the client.
The main objective of a Preliminary Engineering Report or Facility Plan is to provide recommendations for regulatory compliance; however, we also strive to provide planning for facilities that will be "operator friendly", both in the ease of operability and maintenance and in overall efficiency and operating costs, saving energy and costs whenever and wherever possible. This is critical in today’s economic market and ecological environment.
Our wastewater engineers keep up to date on the new emerging technologies introduced to meet new and proposed standards and regulations; however, our engineers do not abandon the use of traditional systems that have proven themselves throughout their long period of service if their use is applicable and deemed suitable.
Facility planning will evaluate the watershed or watersheds that will best be served by the wastewater treatment facility. The planning will encompass the community, as well as projected growth patterns for a specified area or region. The plan will take into account projected growth in the geographical direction the community proposes to grow based on available data.
The purpose of facility planning is to globally evaluate dependable options that are appropriate to the individual client’s needs. Reports are prepared with a minimum 20-year strategic planning horizon. This long-range planning period is critical to forecasting future system needs and to the development of appropriate solutions and financing options.
Federal and state permit requirements are incorporated into the planning to determine if each alternate is capable of meeting the minimum state and federal clean water standards.
Project cost estimates are developed for each viable option for comparative analysis and user rates are evaluated. Financing options, including multiple funding partner scenarios, are presented for review and discussion.
With this in-depth information and our guidance, the client is able to make an informed and educated decision and present these outcomes with confidence to their customers.
