Keeping our waterways clear of pollution relies on effective wastewater treatment and is a critical aspect of environmental stewardship.
Ensuring communities can provide their residents with access to clean, safe, reliable drinking water is fundamental to our mission.
Collecting wastewater and distributing drinking water relies on complex systems of infrastructure that must be maintained effectively.
Unpredictable weather events are on the rise. Unchecked, storm water can cause flooding and erosion problems and overwhelm treatment facilities.
Site planning and development are crucial steps in transforming any land into a valuable and usable asset.
Helps clients navigate environmental regulations for wetlands and waterways while reducing project delays.
Helps solid-waste facilities improve capacity while controlling construction and permitting costs and streamlining operations.

Chattanooga, TN · Wastewater · Client: City of Chattanooga
Decades of engineering improvements at Chattanooga's Moccasin Bend wastewater treatment plant, supporting expansions from 40 MGD to 140 MGD with a peak treatment capacity of 260 MGD.
Portage County, OH · Water Supply · Client: Punderson State Park
Consolidated water supply for the 750-acre park from 10 groundwater wells and six individual treatment systems into a single centralized plant, with the clearwell serving as the building's foundation and a glass wall allowing visitors to observe treatment operations.
Lookout Mountain, TN · Water Supply
Replaced century-old waterlines on Lookout Mountain with a new alignment that includes a 600-foot elevated section engineered to resist wind and seismic loads. Construction required minimal disturbance to National Park Service trails, with mules used to haul materials along sensitive sections.
Marlboro, OH · Wastewater · Client: Village of Marlboro
Eliminated on-site septic systems for approximately 100 homes and businesses by constructing a new wastewater treatment plant and sewer system. The project replaced a 70-year-old storm sewer that had contributed septic overflow to Walborn Reservoir, the drinking-water supply for nearby Alliance.
