Water Engineering

Aldrich + Elliott has gained a reputation as water system engineering specialists. We have a broad background in the planning, design, permitting, and construction of water system upgrades and improvements. A+E has provided preliminary engineering evaluations, design and construction engineering services for more than 30 different Vermont municipal water systems. We have extensive experience evaluating and assessing water systems throughout Vermont.

Water Engineering - Vermont
South Burlington, VT
To meet increased water demand in the high pressure zone of this large municipal water system dictated increasing the capacity of the existing 1,500,000 gallon painted steel water storage tank to 2,100,000 gallon tank. To accomplish this and re-use the existing steel tank on the existing tank site, foundation improvements were completed and thirty-five feet of additional tank wall was added to the base as the existing tank was raised in seven foot increments, from a height of ninety-five feet to one hundred thirty feet!
Water Engineering - Vermont
Newport City, VT
The first arsenic removal treatment process of a Vermont municipal water system, this three vessel fully automated filtration system treats 1,200 gallons/minute of raw well water reducing the arsenic levels from 0.020 ppm to less than 0.005 ppm, to meet recently adopted drinking water quality standards. The project included supervisory automated controls (SCADA) integrated with the Wastewater Treatment Facility so the operators who run both systems can monitor each from either facility.
“FA&A has been working with the City of Newport on a number of projects that include…water distribution and storage improvements and the design of a water treatment facility…In all instances the engineering and construction cost estimates have been very accurate. The quality of your engineering is reflected in the ACEC/VT award for engineering excellence for the arsenic removal pilot and preliminary engineering study. We do not have a city engineer, but with the type of service that FA&A provides, we feel we don’t need one!” – John Ward, Jr. Newport City Manager
