WASTEWATER CONVEYANCE Moving waste, protecting the environment and public health.

CLIENT LOCATION

As communities grow, the infrastructure supporting them ages. Infiltration and inflow reduce the capacity of aging pipes, while population growth increases demand. Reliable wastewater conveyance is essential to the health and prosperity of our communities. Reducing wastewater overflows into waterways and aquifers not only protects the environment, but also facilitates public health and safety. Modernizing wastewater conveyance is needed for the overall prosperity and progress of our communities. But how do we make that happen? The answer lies in smart, effective conveyance systems. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates the US has over 500,000 miles of publicly owned sanitary sewers, with a similar expanse of privately-owned sewer systems. Wastewater conveyance systems are the backbone of modern sanitation, transporting collected flows from residential, commercial and industrial sources to treatment facilities.

These systems are essential for protecting public health, preserving natural waterways and enabling sustainable urban growth. WSP possesses expertise in all major components of the conveyance system, including combined and sanitary sewer overflow reduction, sewer investigation, rehabilitation, sewer capacity modeling, transmission pipeline systems, retention, pump stations, combined sewage overflow tunnels, gravity interceptors, forcemains and outfall structures. Our team integrates advanced technologies, such as computational fluid dynamics modeling, to anticipate challenges before construction begins. We also specialize in geotechnical investigations, ground improvement, tunneling design and seismic engineering to bolster system resilience in the face of natural disasters. By focusing on efficiency and reliability, WSP’s wastewater conveyance solutions help communities safeguard their water resources while preparing for future growth.
