Engineering design is defined as “… the process of devising a system, component or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing, and evaluation.”

The CWS design staff uses these concepts for each and every water treatment or wastewater treatment system. CWS works with the client to identify specific needs, define the problem, analyze set criteria, assess and evaluate alternative and possible solutions together, and make a decision on the best possible course of action. CWS uses a combination of old tried and true treatment scenarios with new and innovative technologies. The result is a custom-designed system that is state-of-the-art and cost effective.
