Your community, like many communities, most likely has a wastewater treatment facility that may require upgrades and/or improvements. Many of these facilities are operating beyond their intended design life and have inadequate capacity to accommodate present needs. Other facilities may appear to operate well and do meet Iowa Department of Natural Resources standards, but are grossly inefficient and unnecessarily capital intensive, draining revenues right down the sewer.

Finding solutions to your wastewater problems is what we do on a daily basis. Wastewater treatment facilities can be complex, and their design bridges many disciplines of engineering. As a full-service engineering firm, we provide all of these services in-house, improving the quality of the design, and saving you money. These services include:
