CEC provides engineering, design, and construction services for new and/or improved capabilities of municipal water distribution systems.
CEC provides municipalities with full-service capabilities including studies, analysis, and engineering, and also can provide additional support for:
- Financing and Funding
- Surveying
- Design Drawings and Specifications
- Bidding- and Construction-Related Services
Distribution Analysis
CEC hydraulically analyzes existing and proposed transmission mains and local lines of a community’s water distribution system. The analyses identify lines and areas requiring upgrading or reinforcing to meet local needs, Fire Underwriters Survey recommendations, and EPA requirements. Thorough hydraulic analyses of distribution systems and storage tanks can provide strategies for additional or replacement water storage tanks.
Elevated and Ground Storage Tanks
CEC designs elevated water storage tanks and standpipes to provide water ready for delivery without pumping. Storage tanks that float hydraulically on the system stabilize pressures, provide water for firefighting, and allow plants to treat water at a more constant rate where their operation works best and is most efficient.
CEC also designs ground storage tanks with pumping facilities as an economical alternative to elevated storage tanks. CEC designs and prepares final drawings and specifications for bidding tanks, and provides construction-related services.
Pump Stations
Pump stations are used to boost area pressures and to separate pressure zones hydraulically. This commonly occurs in larger systems or when surface topography reduces area pressures significantly. CEC analyzes the community’s specific needs and designs in-line booster pumps or pump stations with associated ground or elevated storage to increase area pressures.
