Water & Wastewater

Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) modeling is the cornerstone of modern, resilient water resource management, offering a proactive, data-driven approach to understanding and managing water behavior. As urban areas expand and environmental regulations tighten, precise hydraulic modeling is essential to optimize the performance of water distribution and wastewater collection systems. State-of-the-art models enable our experts to simulate real-world conditions, identify system bottlenecks, and test infrastructure improvements in a virtual environment. By simulating these dynamic scenarios, we empower decision-makers to anticipate, analyze, and mitigate system risks before they occur. Ardurra’s modeling services provide the critical insights needed to design regulatory-compliant, sustainable infrastructure for our clients as well as support them in proactively managing their utility systems.  

 Ardurra’s regulatory permitting and compliance for water and wastewater constitutes a critical, legally-mandated framework designed to protect public health and environmental integrity by regulating the treatment, transport, and discharge of water resources. Compliance involves maintaining stringent, approved standards through rigorous monitoring, reporting, and maintenance of treatment and conveyance facilities, ensuring that all treated effluent discharged into navigable waters or sent through the distribution system meets or exceeds safe, legal parameters. We staunchly represent our clients’ interests, expertly guiding them through relevant policy, risk, cost, technical, public acceptance, and service objectives.  

 Ardurra applies strategic, data-driven processes to ensure long-term infrastructure sustainability, reliability and cost-effective operations. Our proven approaches extend the useful life of equipment and facilities that are essential to public health. We focus on proactive maintenance to prevent failures that could trigger costly emergency repairs or permit violations. Our comprehensive capital improvement plans are phased and aligned with your budget; we include energy optimization and resiliency factors that can often provide funding opportunities.  

Ardurra is on the forefront of researching, developing and implementing solutions and treatment processes and strategies to address emerging contaminants, including forever chemicals such as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Our research includes quantifying concentrations and classifying PFAS in source waters across the country to determine regions most affected by PFAS. We have conducted studies and pilot tests to identify the appropriate treatment processes to reduce PFAS to cost-effectively meet the EPA’s limits.
