Operations Services
Operating water and wastewater facilities both efficiently and cost-effectively is no easy task for utilities who, under strict budgets, must tackle frequent regulatory changes, aging infrastructure, and ever-evolving workforces. And, while these challenges may be universal, Carollo does not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions: That’s why our water and wastewater professionals work one-on-one with every client to get to know their facilities and tailor our strategic recommendations to their unique needs.
- Operability and maintainability design reviews
- Construction support and existing facility operation during construction
- Owner’s advisor support and facility process optimization
- Training, commissioning, and start-up
- Facility documentation supporting operations, maintenance, and compliance

Custom solutions for improved operability
We keep our finger on the pulse of a project by pursuing its objectives from start to finish. We begin this process through attentive listening and honest communication, which guides the workshops we hold with the owner’s operations and maintenance (O&M) staff. Their preferences and concerns reveal constraints known only to those who operate these critical facilities every day, and this feedback becomes the pillars of our designs as we aim for optimal operability, ease of maintenance, and safety. Beyond design, Carollo also supports a project’s construction, commissioning, start-up, and optimization activities so that staff members can concentrate on integrating new or upgraded processes with existing ones. For critical facilities like water and wastewater plants, even minimal service interruptions or shutdowns can have reverberating effects. So, to avoid disrupting daily operations, we use proven methods and protocols to thoughtfully coordinate construction activities. By paying attention to the details in every project phase, Carollo successfully delivers projects that are mindful of the work essential operators do and positively influence the owner’s bottom line.
