Engineering – WWC Engineering

Designing solutions for some of the largest engineering problems.

CADD and GIS

WWC has long understood the importance of the visual representation of data, and we employ both Computer Aided Drafting Design (CADD) and Geographic Information System (GIS) professionals. WWC’s professionals are trained in the use and integration of GIS with ArcGIS™. Information management and the graphic display of data are becoming increasingly necessary as private, municipal and industrial entities move toward digital file management.

Construction Engineering

WWC’s primary goal during project construction is to protect the interests of our clients by minimizing construction change orders and by providing a safe work environment. By using experienced professionals for construction monitoring, unforeseen issues encountered during construction are handled quickly and effectively, which results in a higher quality project at a lower cost. Carefully monitoring construction expenditures and verifying that facilities are constructed in accordance with well-prepared plans and specifications ensure that this goal is met.

Project Funding

WWC staff are experienced in acquiring project funding through grant applications and/or loan programs. WWC works to assure our clients are ready when grant funding is available to help defray the costs of planning, engineering and construction services. Our goal is to maximize the amount of grant funding for each project to implement construction projects at the least possible cost to our clients.

Planning

WWC has prepared several Capital Improvements Plans and Master Plans for communities over the years. Capital Improvement plans provide an inventory of existing assets, list capital projects/equipment and rank them in order of need, provide technical justification and cost estimate, include plans for funding, and provide a schedule for implementation.

Permitting

WWC has provided permitting services since its inception in 1978 and understands that most projects have permitting requirements. This could be as simple as a one-page document to a single regulatory agency or as complex as a multi-volume, multi-year application involving many regulatory bodies.

Public Involvement

WWC understands that projects need to incorporate a public involvement component. The public involvement process typically shapes the direction of a project. Properly conducted, public involvement defines project alternatives, provides assurance that the selected alternative is best for the community and fosters communication with all stakeholders. WWC employs staff trained in the Systematic Development of Informed Consent (SDIC) method of public interaction and utilizes this method for any project requiring public involvement.
