Technical Advisory

Specialist expertise, exactly when it's needed.

Engineering standards and standard operating procedures (SOPs), pilot studies, forensic engineering, crisis support, funding strategy, independent reviews, and operational support — beyond the standard project lifecycle.

OVERVIEW

Beyond the standard project lifecycle.

Not every engagement fits neatly into a typical capital project. Standards need updating. Pilots need evaluating. Failures need investigating. Grant deadlines come fast. Commissioning gets challenging. We provide specialist engineering insight in those moments — drawing on direct municipal asset ownership and operations experience.

Some of our most consequential work has happened outside a standard design-bid-build engagement: developing methodology frameworks for difficult-to-inspect mains, leading emergency responses and completing repairs on active sanitary trunk sewers and transmission and sub-transmission watermains, securing federal funding for a wet-weather storage facility, or scoping a region-wide real-time controls implementation strategy from first principles.

We engage as advisors, expert witnesses, technology evaluators, standard-setters, crisis responders, or commissioning oversight — whatever the moment calls for, with experienced, capable, senior attention from start to finish.
