Water and Wastewater
Of all the systems that we rely on for the quality of life we lead, the delivery of clean water and disposal of wastewater is most taken for granted. And yet it is perhaps the most complex.
Critical lifelines such as water transmission and distribution systems and wastewater collection systems are typically distributed over a large geographical area and traverse zones of varying geology and topography. Such systems are generally built incrementally over a period of several decades and under a range of evolving design standards and construction techniques. The systems are composed of multiple components that serve various functions such as collection, treatment, storage, transmission and distributions, and include treatment plants, production wells, pump stations, water storage reservoirs, and tanks, pipelines and aqueducts and large dams.
The system components because of their function and geographic distribution are potentially vulnerable to a range of natural hazards including the effects of global climate change. To ensure a reliable performance, all of these hazards should be mitigated in a consistent manner with due consideration to the importance and criticality of each component. A comprehensive assessment of such system requires multi-disciplinary expertise. MMI Engineering’s senior practitioners have performed multi-hazard reliability assessment of numerous water systems and possess knowledge and expertise in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, system operations and probabilistic techniques.
