Services

Eight capabilities, four groups.

Our role frequently crosses traditional professional boundaries. These are the disciplines a project draws on, grouped the way a developer actually meets them, and the ones we coordinate between.

Land and feasibility

Land development

Most tracts do not fail on engineering. They fail on sequence: a plat that arrives before the district exists, a drainage assumption that does not survive review, a utility commitment nobody actually secured.

Who this helps: A developer or landowner holding a tract and deciding whether it works.
When it is useful: Before you commission engineering, and well before preliminary plat.

District planning

Water district financial and planning

The layer that runs underneath everything else. Infrastructure gets built once. The district that pays for it has to work for thirty years, and the assumptions that make that true are set at the beginning.

Who this helps: A developer planning district-funded infrastructure, on the development side of the table.
When it is useful: At the point you are choosing a district vehicle, and before the creation calendar becomes the critical path.

Water and utilities

Wet utilities

Water distribution, wastewater collection, lift stations and drainage. The part of the project that is invisible the day it is finished and decides everything for the thirty years after.

Who this helps: A developer who needs a cost per lot they can underwrite.
When it is useful: As soon as the service path is known and before phasing is fixed.

Water processing and reclamation

Treatment, reuse under TCEQ Chapter 210, and alternative supply where groundwater is capped. When the aquifer stops being an answer, this is the next one.

Who this helps: A project where groundwater is capped or converting, or where amenity demand can absorb reuse.
When it is useful: When plant capacity and supply alternatives are being sized.

Desalination

Inland desalination is rarely limited by membranes. It is limited by what you do with the brine, and that is a land, permitting and disposal problem, not a treatment problem.

Who this helps: A project where the supply is brackish and the concentrate has nowhere obvious to go.
When it is useful: At source characterisation, because recovery cannot be set until disposal is.

Residuals and disposal

Waste recovery

Everything a treatment system removes from water has to go somewhere. Some of it is worth money. Most of the cost is in deciding which is which, early.

Who this helps: An operator deciding what to do with what the plant removes.
When it is useful: Before the recovery scheme is committed, while the disposal baseline can still be contracted.

Waste pumping

Hauling, receiving stations, lift station service, transporter registration and manifesting. The unglamorous link that quietly decides whether the rest of the chain runs.

Who this helps: A system that depends on hauled volume reaching a receiving point.
When it is useful: Before the receiving end becomes a constraint rather than a line item.

Re-injection wells

Class I, II and V UIC disposal, including desalination concentrate. The end of the chain, and the input that should have been decided first.

Who this helps: A project generating concentrate or residuals that need a permanent route.
When it is useful: First. Where the residuals go sets everything upstream of it.

Where it starts

Send us the tract, and we will tell you which link is the hard one.

On most tracts one thing decides the project: water availability, drainage, disposal, or the district calendar. The snapshot finds it. No charge and no obligation.
