Our Approach

Malcolm Pirnie’s national team of specialists, organized to deliver expertise across the country, takes a collaborative approach to working with clients. Because we appreciate that every water system is unique, we listen to you so we can understand your goals and objectives, the challenges you face, and the capabilities and limitations of your existing facilities. We help you define your system needs and explore traditional and innovative treatment technologies. By discussing options and alternatives with you, we help you select the most appropriate solution for your system.

Looking at every project from a long-term perspective, we address your current and near-term problems, while factoring in future needs and anticipated regulatory developments. Our services span virtually all aspects of satisfying the public’s thirst: water quality master planning and demand forecasting, hydraulic modeling for distribution system design, treatability studies, regulatory compliance analysis,  treatment system design — and more.

The result is a system that efficiently and reliably provides ample quantities of high-quality, affordable drinking water to meet today’s demands — and that can evolve as needed to meet future requirements.
