Plan for Success: Navigating the Roles of Program Managers and Owner Advisors
Municipal water and wastewater utility managers face increasing challenges with delivering major treatment and infrastructure projects that meet regional growth, regulatory requirements, strained budgets, and stringent delivery schedules.
Optimizing Project Efficiency: The Synergy of Collaborative Delivery and SUE
As water/wastewater infrastructure becomes more complex and densely arranged, underground utility installation presents opportunities for innovation and efficiency.
It’s Your First Collaborative Delivery Project—Don’t Panic!
You’ve heard the buzz; it seems like every water/wastewater utility or owner is using progressive design-build (PDB) or construction management at-risk (CMAR) for its upcoming infrastructure projects.
Project Spotlight
University of New Hampshire Water Treatment Plant (NH)
The University of New Hampshire owns and is responsible for operations of a water treatment plant that serves the entire campus as well as the Town of Durham, NH. The original WTP was constructed in the early 1930s, and even though it continued to meet drinking water requirements, UNH decided to build a new facility due to the age of the equipment and structures. In addition to providing clean water for approximately 29,500 people, the design of the new WTP needed to address several unique needs for UNH.
