Consulting Engineers

We like to work with others who provide personal services to the same clients that we serve. There are many opportunities to include the expertise that StepWise Utility Advisors provides in conjunction with other projects that are normally considered “engineering studies.”

It’s no mystery that the cost of things like treatment plants, pipelines, and natural resources are and have been growing at a rate much higher than inflation. In addition, we are as an industry facing the retirement of billions of dollars of existing infrastructure that will have to be replaced within a generation or sooner. Preparing their communities for these costs is one of the biggest challenges that managers in the water and sewer industry face.

StepWise adds value to typical engineering studies by helping to quantify the impact of the recommended capital projects on a utility’s financial resources, including the rates that customers will have to pay. We help identify and work through financial constraints before the engineering plan is implemented, clearing the path to project implementation in a way that minimizes impacts on customers.

Typical engineering projects where StepWise has been able to make a difference include master planning and design.
