Construction Support for Water & Wastewater Facilities
Constructing water and wastewater facilities is a demanding task that leaves little room for compromise: Public agencies not only require multi-process facilities of superior, long-lasting quality but they must also be able to construct them at a price that is fair, reasonable, and justifiable to a broad range of ratepayers. Furthermore, the timing and sequencing of construction must be spot-on so that utility staff can continue to focus on their operational duties and avoid disruptive plant shutdowns.
- Constructability reviews
- Construction administration
- General and special inspections
- Cost estimating and schedule analysis
- Start-up and commissioning administration
- Construction claim mitigation and negotiation

Modern water and wastewater construction is becoming increasingly specialized with advanced technologies and automated systems. Still, utilities necessitate more in the way of hands-on administration and tracking, flexible and resilient responsiveness, and advocacy.
This is why Carollo Engineers maintains a staff of seasoned construction professionals who proactively manage the day-to-day demands of construction projects, regardless of size, with diligent consideration of each client’s unique scheduling, resource, and operational needs. Our resources include full-computerized document tracking and scheduling capabilities, and specialty testing equipment. From constructability reviews and inspections, contract administration, and cost-estimations to start-up and commissioning, Carollo Engineers protects and advances the priorities of owners, facility operators, and ratepayers alike.
We achieve this success through careful listening, productive collaboration, and proactive communication. Our construction managers, resident engineers, and resident and specialty inspectors consistently engage the project owner, contractor, and utility staff to identify opportunities to minimize costs and plant disruptions, identify and manage risks, and mitigate schedule delays. As a result, Carollo Engineers-managed construction projects have minimal numbers of change orders, which allows both the owner and contractor to achieve their project goals on time, within budget, and at a quality that every member of a utility and their customer base can be proud of.
