As a consulting firm, wastewater facility planning has been a primary element of our municipal engineering division. Preliminary Engineering Reports and Facility Plans provide an in-depth study, which provides recommended treatment options for the client.
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 evaluates the watershed or watersheds affecting the wastewater treatment facility. The planning encompasses the entire community, as well as Projected growth patterns for a specified area or region. The plan takes into account projected growth in the geographical direction the community proposes to grow based on available data.
With this in-depth information and our expert guidance, the client is able to make an informed and educated decision and present these outcomes with confidence to their customers. Our professionals provide sound engineering solutions to meet today’s stringent standards for sanitary sewer collection and wastewater treatment facilities.

Water System Improvements (New Supply/Treatment Plant/Transmission) Pittsfield, IL
The City of Pittsfield, Illinois undertook a major water system improvements project in 2009 to provide a safe and reliable drinking water supply to their community.
Supply
In order to meet state and federal standards for drinking water, the city realized the need to replace their existing surface water supply (lake), with a ground water supply provided through a new alluvial well field, including two 1,000 GPM wells (approximately 95-ft), submersible pumps, elevated platforms, piping and electrical.
Treatment
The new ground water supply is treated by a new 1,000 GPM Ion-Exchange ground water softening plant. A new SCADA system links all systems and facilities to monitor and control the operations. A diesel-powered emergency back-up generator provides emergency service to the two new wells and a diesel-powered generator provides emergency service to the two new wells and a diesel-powered generator has capacity to operate the new water treatment plant at full capacity.
