CH2M HILL

Water Reuse

CH2M HILL’s commitment to and leadership in water reuse began over 40 years ago with the design and operation of the first, full-scale advanced wastewater treatment facility in the United States, located in South Lake Tahoe. Our projects range in size from demonstration/pilot projects to full-scale operational facilities, such as the landmark Upper Occoquan Sewage Authority (UOSA) Regional Water Reclamation Plant, one of the world’s first and largest indirect potable reuse plants.

Desalination

CH2M HILL utilises state-of-the-art water treatment technology to help our clients deliver high quality drinking water to their communities. We are leaders in the use of membranes, granular activated carbon, high rate clarification processes as well as ultra violet light and ozone for disinfection. Through our bench and pilot testing facilities, we help our clients select the best desalination treatment process to meet their current needs, while maintaining flexibility for future regulatory and water quality goals.

When combined with other technologies and services (water supply, water distribution, economics and rate studies, management consulting, GIS, decision science, contract operations, alternative project delivery and many others), CH2M HILL provides solutions for all of our clients’ water treatment needs.

Water Resources and Ecosystem Management

As communities grow and change, water resource management becomes increasingly complex. Escalating demands for water supply intensify the need for new sources, conservation, and reuse. At the same time, from a watershed perspective, environmental needs often are considered to compete for water resources. These dynamics highlight complex inter-relationships among the links in the water management cycle from source, to supply, to treatment, disposal, and reuse and to source again. Such inter-relationships create greater complexity for water managers, who are already challenged to contain or reduce system capital and operating costs.

Water Portfolio Management

CH2M HILL's integrated Water Portfolio Management team focuses on a collaborative process with clients to determine their overall goals and objectives for water management. We combine that data with simulation modelling to plan and implement water resource management from a total-system perspective. Our experienced staff analyzes the status and dynamics of supply, demand, cost, and risk throughout the system, develops simulation models using our proprietary VOYAGE™ modelling tool, and then applies optimization technologies to identify the best resource management strategies system wide.

Greenhouse Gas Management

CH2M HILL’s Greenhouse Gas and Carbon Footprint Management Services help clients understand, measure, and manage their emissions to minimize future climate change impacts. By working with our clients to assess their carbon footprints, we are able identify cost savings and potential revenue opportunities that can be seized early—including carbon offset sales, renewable energy credits, biogas offsets for natural gas purchases and/or cogeneration, and “setaside” funding for renewable energy and other projects.
