Water & Waste Water

AZ&B can assist local governments plan and construct critical elements of water and waste water infrastructure including storage tanks and pump and lift stations. Our team can evaluate existing facilities, site new facilities and work to secure public acceptance and necessary  permits.

AZ&B has design expertise for both water and waste-water pipelines. We understand the regulatory complexities related to pipeline routing including environmental, TxDOT and USCOE permitting. Our team has worked extensively with other utilities as a way of allowing for conflict-free construction. We have experience with pipelines ranging in size from residential service to large-scale distribution projects such as TRWD’s IPL Project.

For the City of Plano, AZ&B implemented a Cured in Place project to reduce costs, accelerate the project and reduce environmental impacts. The CIPP allowed the City to continue to use an existing pipeline thereby reducing capital costs and accelerating completion of the project. The 5 mile waste water line, ranging from 21” to 42” will be completed in two phases to accommodate stakeholder needs. By using the CIPP method, the City was able to avoid major environmental impacts along the pipeline route through the City’s nature preserve. This also significantly reduced the amount of US Army Corps of Engineering permitting required for the project.

AZ&B staff has the capability to assist communities manage water resource issues including water supply planning, storm water management design and floodplain mapping and floodplain protection. We focus on developing plans that are sustainable and protect water quality.
