Engineering and technical support.
The company’s name comes from treatment-facility design, and the firm still does the work: the engineering review, the Treatment Works Approval, and the Professional Engineer’s certification a facility needs when a treatment system is built, modified, or evaluated — alongside the environmental management systems and certifications that customers and markets increasingly ask for.
Services
Treatment Works Approvals and PE certifications
TWA applications for new or modified wastewater treatment and conveyance, coordinated with the NJPDES permit; Professional Engineer certifications on permit applications, SPCC and DPCC plans, and the submittals that require a seal.
Treatment-system evaluations
Capacity and loading reviews, performance assessments, and upgrade scoping when a system is failing, the facility is growing, or NJDEP asks for an upgrade; pretreatment feasibility before a permit is applied for or a line is added.
Environmental management systems
ISO 14001 — gap assessment, documentation, internal audits, and preparation for certification — built on the permits, sampling, and operations the facility already manages, so there is one system, not two.
Certifications
Certified Green Business programs — qualification, documentation, and the operational changes behind the certificate. USDA Organic certification support for agricultural and food operations — recordkeeping, inputs, and the water and land-management questions that come with it. Resource efficiency — water, energy, and waste reduction where they pay back and where they reduce permit exposure.
Applicability
Engineering review is useful when a facility is planning a new or modified treatment system, assessing capacity or performance, or preparing an approval or submittal that calls for a Professional Engineer’s certification. The project, discharge permit, and proposed changes determine the work needed.
Environmental management and certification work serves facilities organizing their compliance systems or responding to customer and market requirements. We build the documentation around the permits, operating procedures, monitoring, and records already in use.
Typical situations
- A treatment upgrade that needs a Treatment Works Approval before construction
- An SPCC plan over the threshold that needs a Professional Engineer’s certification
- A system running at capacity with a production increase coming
- A customer asking for ISO 14001
- An organic certification with water and land-management questions behind it
FAQ
Can you evaluate a system before we commit to an upgrade?
Yes. We review loading, capacity, performance, and the proposed production change to help define the upgrade scope and the approvals to address.
Can engineering and permitting be handled together?
Yes. Treatment Works Approval applications and technical submittals are coordinated with the facility’s discharge permit and operating requirements.
Can an existing compliance program support ISO 14001 work?
Yes. Existing procedures, records, monitoring, and corrective actions provide a starting point. We assess the gaps and develop the additional management-system documentation and audit preparation.
What information helps you scope a project?
Provide the current permits, available drawings, recent operating and sampling data, and a description of the proposed change or certification objective. We identify the additional information needed during review.
