Malcolm Pirnie takes a unique approach to water resources management that consists of four key elements:

 

Client advocacy and stakeholder appreciation. We combine sound technical experience with proven consensus-building skills to identify solutions that integrate the needs and interests of your facility with those of regulators and the community.

 

Regulatory foresight. Our professionals have served as technical experts for the U.S. EPA, AWWA, WEF, the National Research Council, and many state and local regulatory agencies. Through these alliances, we help you to make informed decisions — based on both current and anticipated regulatory requirements — to reconcile complex technological needs and constraints and manage permitting issues, while meeting your cost and business objectives.

 

Experience and knowledge. Our scientists and engineers have expertise in water-resource planning, groundwater and surface water evaluation and extraction, water rights and resource acquisition, water quality management, dam engineering and permitting, among other things.

 

Tools and technology. We use the latest technology related to watershed management — such as mapping, modeling and monitoring tools for surface and subsurface water characterization, aquifer and watershed recharge, and water conflict resolution.

This in-depth technical and regulatory expertise enables us to help you identify and evaluate all competing options, and implement workable, cost-effective solutions for both new water sources and wastewater discharge. And because our offices are located throughout the U.S., we can bring both localized and regional expertise to bear on your project.

The result is an effective strategy for evaluating and securing viable, long-term water supplies and managing wastewater discharge in a way that meets the needs of the facility while balancing the competing interests of internal and external stakeholders.
