Since 2008, WithersRavenel has provided engineering services for design, surveying, easements, permitting, bidding, stakeholder and grant coordination, and construction administration/observation services for the following water and sewer installations:
In addition, WithersRavenel built the City’s infrastructure GIS database from the ground up. To initiate the program, WithersRavenel conducted a land use study and address verification effort, which involved traveling to every structure in the City, photographing it, labeling it with the type of structure (civic, commercial, residential, etc.), and determining whether its address was displayed correctly. Incorrectly addressed buildings were sent a notice with guidelines on how to properly the address. Next, WithersRavenel conducted an inventory of all water and sewer infrastructure in the City, totaling almost 2,000 fire hydrants, water valves, blowoffs, air release valves, and other features. Then WithersRavenel performed survey-grade mapping for more than 1,800 sewer manholes; manholes were located and assessed according to NASSCO assessment standards. With this data, WithersRavenel was able to implement a methodology for a fire hydrant assessment and maintenance and valve exercise program. Finally, WithersRavenel implemented a work order and asset management program accessed via a secure Web- and mobile-based client.
