Water & Wastewater

Since its inception in 1978, KSA has specialized in providing water and wastewater systems design for small to medium-sized municipalities and water districts. While we have traditionally directed our attention toward municipalities of various sizes, ranging from small towns to larger communities, we possess the capacity to offer solutions to any population size due to our team of experts. Here’s why.  

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH

Our market focus starts with our engineering design philosophy–a philosophy that has evolved over the years based on the unique needs of our clients. We have observed that towns and cities of moderate size tend to prioritize cost-effective solutions that offer both reliability and ease of maintenance. Very few of these entities have the luxury of unlimited budgets. Based on these unique requirements, we have become known for our expertise in the application of the most appropriate technologies to strike a reasonable balance between initial capital and operational costs; and effective systems that are easy to maintain and operate without adding unnecessary overcomplication. Whenever possible, our first consideration leans toward the utilization of existing facilities to accomplish the same results as if they were new.   

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND DELIVERY

KSA’s water and wastewater project delivery process is built around a strong team of local project managers. We have intentionally created this organization to provide a team that combines local knowledge with specialized experience. This means that your project will be managed by a project manager that either resides in your vicinity or is in close proximity to you. This is your assurance of a team capable of providing the most technically sound and cost-effective design in a manner most responsive to your needs. 

Your project manager will utilize the specialized expertise within the Water and Wastewater Center of Excellence to guide the overall project approach and provide a highly specialized and unique design. Collaboratively, the team will work together to determine the tasks, team and technologies necessary to optimize the design and meet or exceed the goals established for the project.
