EE&T is a consulting engineering firm specializing in the water and wastewater field, our services include treatability studies, planning, design, and construction administration. EE&T is particularly a recognized leader in both the water treatment and sludge management fields, providing services throughout the country in areas of plant troubleshooting, regulatory compliance assistance, master planning, rehabilitation studies, expansion plans, laboratory treatability studies, laboratory analysis services, pilot plant treatment studies, full-service design including 3-D computer aided design services, construction administration, and start-up services. Water Services EE&T was founded on a firm belief in the use of treatability studies to establish design criteria for producing a safe and economical potable water. EE&T's water group has unmatched qualifications in the testing of conventional and innovative water treatment processes. In fact, EE&T was awarded the American Consulting Engineering Council's top award for engineering excellence for the testing and implementation of the first alum recovery facility in the U.S. located at Durham, NC. EE&T is the only "small" firm to have won the engineering excellence award. Many of our firm's evaluation techniques have become adopted as industry standards: EE&T personnel developed the now widely accepted "Gator Jar" technique for jar testing. EE&T personnel developed the RSSCT modification to evaluate GAC's hazardous properties when treating SOCs and pesticides. EE&T's work on recycle issues has led the industry in proper handling techniques. EE&T developed the sludge mass balance calculations that are now widely used by the industry to predict residuals quantification. EE&T residuals management expertise is internationally recognized. EE&T's development of modular pilot plant components that are now widely utilized. EE&T personnel pioneered work on the use of DAF as a treatment technique for spent filter backwash water. These examples illustrate the impact that EE&T has had on the industry. With EE&T, our clients get this expertise first hand to help solve water quality and treatment issues. The water design group works hand in hand with our other units, particularly the process group. We have completed many water plant rehabilitations, new process additions, as well as complete plant designs. All plants are completed using computer aided design, including the use of 3-D design to aid in contractor understanding of the final project. The design group consists of specialty services including electrical, mechanical,and HVAC engineers. Finally, our water group is rounded out with our operations staff. Our operation division has personnel with the highest water operators licenses and over 20 years experience in plant operations. Wastewater Services EE&T specializes in all aspects of wastewater engineering including the study, design, construction, and operational assistance of wastewater collection systems, pump stations, wastewater treatment works, and sludge treatment, handling, and disposal facilities. EE&T and its personnel have provided engineering services for municipal and industrial wastewater systems with capacities from 0.25 to 1,250 mgd involving all aspects of wastewater engineering. EE&T personnel have engineered various collection technologies from conventional gravity sewers and force mains, to the more complex vacuum sewers and small diameter effluent systems. We have designed new wastewater treatment facilities and engineered modifications to existing facilities. In addition to providing over ten years of day-to-day operational assistance to one municipal facility, EE&T personnel have completed study, design, and construction services for trickling filters, aerated lagoons, oxidation ditches, rotating biological contactors, sequencing batch reactors, phosphorus removal facilities, chlorine contact tanks, sand filters (including air/water backwash system), wetlands treatment, digester maintenance, drying beds, odor control and disinfection equipment, and emergency power.
