WATER FACILITIES ENGINEERING
Engineering reliable water facilities that support safe supply, efficient treatment, and long-term system performance.
Engineering Smarter Water Facilities
With projects ranging from developing new groundwater supply sources to replacement of aging water mains in densely developed commercial corridors, Carroll Engineering’s water facilities engineering experience allows us to provide comprehensive services to our clientele. CEC serves water system owners, large and small, in Southeast Pennsylvania, the Poconos, and New Jersey. CEC has experience in planning and designing water facilities from source to endpoint. This includes new groundwater supply wells, transmission mains, booster stations, pressure-reducing stations, storage tanks, and distribution systems. Our engineers utilize computerized system modeling to account for “what-if” scenarios when proposing system improvements for cost-effective system upgrades and expansion. We also work with our clients’ neighboring water suppliers to create interconnected systems that allow system owners to buy or sell water as necessary to meet each system’s needs and provide supplemental water sources in times of emergency.
Our broad technical capabilities allow us to provide in-house treatment and remediation systems designed to address volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, dissolved minerals, and PFOA/PFOS. Innovative solutions such as Antenna Corrals allow colocation of cellular phone infrastructure on water storage tanks permitting complete tank maintenance and painting access. Our system operation and SCADA experience allow for the design of new facilities to be easily integrated into overall system operations.

Featured Water Facilities Projects
North Wales Water Authority General Hancock Water Tank
Montgomery Township, Montgomery County, PA
The North Wales Water Authority has completed the construction of a 4.1-million-gallon elevated water storage tank in Montgomery Township, PA. This tank is one of the largest fluted column elevated steel water storage tanks in the US, standing at 175 feet in height and 135 feet in diameter. This tank is of the same design and capacity as another NWWA Tank. CEC completed all the site engineering, obtained necessary approvals, prepared contract documents, facilitated bidding, and administered the construction contract on behalf of NWWA. The entire construction process spanned 3 years.
Plumstead Line Extension / Park Avenue-Ferry Road Transmission Main
Chalfont Borough / New Britain Township / Doylestown Township / Plumstead Township, Bucks County, PA
Carroll Engineering provided engineering and construction administration services for the Plumstead Line Extension, a major water transmission infrastructure project for the North Wales Water Authority. The project included the installation of approximately five miles of 16-inch ductile iron transmission main extending from the Forest Park Water Treatment Plant in Chalfont to the New Britain Township and Plumstead Township border, as well as construction of a new meter vault and associated appurtenances.
Throughout construction, Carroll Engineering furnished resident project representation and field observation services, overseeing installation of the transmission main, air release facilities, valves, blow-offs, and meter vault infrastructure. Services also included contractor coordination, observation of trenching, bedding, compaction, pavement restoration, and final punch list inspections. The completed project strengthens regional water transmission capabilities and enhances system reliability for existing and future customers served by the Authority.
