Water

Practical, cost-effective solutions for surface water and groundwater source development, treatment, transmission and distribution.

Planning & Research

To ensure the success of each project, Gwin, Dobson & Foreman applies time-tested analysis methods that optimize project function, affordability, performance and assess the impact of future regulations, economic constraints and future growth.

The GD&F planning process establishes goals, correlates system data and parameters, identifies constraints, develops system alternatives and recommends best-value fully functional solutions.

Featured Projects

Water Resources

A leader in new technology application, Gwin, Dobson & Foreman has the proven expertise to develop water supplies and protect water resources. Our design experience encompasses watershed protection, dams and reservoirs, well fields and river intakes.

GD&F is a leader in dam engineering; our work has received national recognition. Our environmental and geoscientists have developed many groundwater supplies for communities and institutions.

Featured Projects

Treatment

Gwin, Dobson & Foreman understands the current regulatory environment and future implications of the increased significance of robustness and operational flexibility in treatment plant design.

GD&F emphasizes the multiple barrier approach in treatment systems and the use of applications such as activated carbon, ozonation, ultraviolet disinfection, and membrane filtration. As an early leader in the pioneering use of membrane technology, GD&F has extensive experience in its proper and optimal application.

Featured Projects

Storage

Storage and distribution are taking on increased importance, as distribution system water quality has become a regulatory priority.

With the ever-increasing scrutiny of state and federal regulators in mind, Gwin, Dobson & Foreman has designed storage tanks with appropriate hydraulic and physical configurations to minimize water age, control microbial growth, and limit disinfection by-product formation.

We have designed the full range of storage tanks, from ground level reservoirs to 150-foot high elevated tanks.

Featured Projects

Transmission & Distribution

The distribution of water – meeting the demands for all customers at all times – is an ongoing challenge for the water industry. Gwin, Dobson & Foreman meets these demands through effective planning and engineering.

GD&F has designed water delivery systems for all service conditions and applications. We have extensive experience with hydraulic modeling methods, fire protection needs, flow control monitoring and water quality considerations.

Our knowledge and experience include the design of pumping stations and pressure regulating and flow control systems, along with pipeline rehabilitation methods, trenchless technologies, and directional boring systems.

Featured Projects

System Management

Gwin, Dobson & Foreman offers practical technical advice and consultation to water operators and system managers.

We bring decades of real-world experience in system management including budget preparation for assistance, water rate and cost of service studies, system appraisals, financial analysis, asset management planning, GIS mapping, among other services.
