Modeling tool yields cost-effective solution for wastewater collection and treatment, particularly for peak flow during wet weather.
Transmission Line Foundation Design
The fast-track design and construction of a 120-mile, single-circuit 345-kV transmission line called for foundation designs to begin before property access was available. That called for innovative solutions to control costs on design rework required for actual versus estimated construction conditions.
