WATER AND WASTE WATER

Long term reliability with a common sense budget - that is the basis for designing in rural America. Today's emphasis on rebuilding the rural community has been strengthened by the formation of rural water districts - large areas laced with a network of waterline carrying potable water to the rural areas for domestic and livestock use. Virtually nothing is more essential than these facilities in communities throughout the civilized world.

Pump stations, grit chambers, chlorinators, sluice gates, aeration tanks, clarifiers, digesters, sludge beds, contact basins, flowmeters, filters, flumes, control valves, transmission mains, laterals, collectors - this is the language of water and sewerage facilities.

Few things are more complex to design, however unglamorous the subject may seem. Peculiar shapes for the concrete structural components make these projects a constant challenge. "Item-itus" is the word we have coined to describe the intricacies involved in the equipment and piping layouts. To bring everything into workable condition, starting from scratch on the usual farmland at the edge of a river - this is a real test of the designer's ability and imagination.

To assure attaining something more than basic facilities, the most advanced design concepts are needed. Ideally the goal is to achieve a compatible balance in cost, design and construction. This requires an optimum effort and highly specialized management and technical skills. Endless detail in planning, engineering and estimating is required.

Diverse elements must be resolved by people who are able to visualize all aspects of the project and who can determine what constitutes common sense quality, good design and sound procedure. These are the people who analyze, evaluate and control the system design. The result is an effective system with value-engineered advantages.
