Water Resources

In a time when water and sewer utilities are under pressure to achieve more with fewer resources, building new and rehabilitating aging infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex. Moreover, with limited availability of freshwater and increasing demands, the design and management of water resource infrastructure is essential for ensuring continuous supply of clean uncontaminated water sources. Bowman understands the gravity of these challenges.

Our seasoned water resources engineers leverage proven experience and industry knowledge to develop sustainable solutions that effectively safeguard public water sources. Whether it’s designing a water distribution system, managing surface and groundwater reservoirs or performing floodplain analyses and modeling, Bowman is well-equipped to help you address challenges, determine objectives and provide cost-effective solutions that prioritize efficiency.

Project Highlights

Middlesex Regional Water System

Deltaville, VA
Bowman is assisting the Middlesex Water Authority with developing a regional water system in lower Middlesex County. Due to poor groundwater quality in the individual shallow wells throughout the eastern portion of the County, the MWA has sought to develop a regional water system to serve the entire eastern section of the County. This effort […]

Clifton Water/Wastewater Treatment Plant

Clifton, AZ
Bowman provided a PER and Design to replace a trickling filter Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) with a new 200,000 gpd Moving Bed Biological Reactor (MBBR) treatment plant installed inside of the existing concrete treatment tank. Design elements included rehabilitation of the existing influent pump station and existing operations building, a standby generator, and demolition of existing WWTP components. Additional services included surveying and civil design.

Moseby Drive

Manassas Park, VA
A dual culvert under Moseby Drive in the City of Manassas Park, Virginia became compromised during a storm and collapsed. As a result, a townhouse community of over 400 residents became inaccessible to vehicle traffic and also severed the water and sanitary utilities. Bowman was called upon by the City to lead efforts to restore the vital connection.

Berkeley County Stormwater Assessment

Berkeley County, SC
Bowman performed GIS asset locating, stormwater asset inventory and assessment of identified outfalls in several watersheds. Bowman also collected and integrated photos in the assessment and completed metadata for the GIS to track data history and lineage.

Confidential Stormwater Diversions and Culverts

Southeast, AZ
Bowman designed three stormwater diversions to protect a leach pad. These diversions required the engineering design of several structures including channels, levees, energy dissipation structures and box culverts. In conjunction with these designs, Bowman developed method specifications for compaction and a design for soil cement that utilized the material sourced from the channel excavation.

Kilgore Surface Water Treatment Plant

Williamson County, TX
Our team completed the design survey for a new high service pump station to replace the existing high service pumping facility at the Kilgore Surface Water Treatment Plant. We set project control throughout the site and utilized their unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to survey the existing structures, ground features, and create a point cloud, video, and digital terrain model of the site.

Broadway Water Treatment Plant

Broadway, VA
Bowman provided major upgrades to the Town of Broadway's Water Treatment Plant. The upgrades included the installation of a state of the art 1.8MGD Pall Corp. MF membrane treatment system in a new concrete filtration building, upgraded and automated chemical feed systems, a 100,000-gallon well storage tank, and a 350,000-gallon finished water clear well.

Beaverdam Reservoir

Brambleton, VA
With this study, Bowman’s team prepared a schematic design for potential park features, developed base mapping to determine development constraints and the boundaries of environmental overlay districts using GIS data, and identified potential access locations and existing public utilities. The information was to be used for development of a conceptual facility layout.

Beach Mill Road Channel Restoration

Fairfax County, VA
Bowman provided on-call services to Fairfax County’s Stormwater Planning Division. The team provided environmental consulting services, conceptual and final engineering design, and construction phase administration for this stream restoration project. Bowman’s team of environmental scientists performed a wetland delineation and stream mitigation evaluation, and a Water Quality Impact Assessment report and small whorled pogonia survey were prepared.
