Wright-Pierce’s water, wastewater and civil engineering services are supported by an in-house multi-discipline team of engineers and technicians that include structural, electrical, civil, architectural, instrumentation and controls, HVAC and plumbing, hydrogeology, landscape architecture and GIS. In addition to the support services listed below, we also offer value engineering/project peer review; cost estimating; construction administration; asset management; training; preparation of O&M manuals; design-build services; and forensic investigations and expert testimony.
In addition, Wright-Pierce is well-versed in the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) sustainable design criteria. Our Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accredited professionals guide clients through the LEED design and certification processes.
