Independent Water & Wastewater Consulting — Program Management,

A performance audit answers two questions: Is the plant performing at the standard it should? and Where are the cost-saving opportunities? The work runs in four stages: (1) on-site diagnostic visit with operating data review; (2) process audit comparing actual operation against design parameters, train by train; (3) chemical, energy, and specific energy consumption benchmarking against industry norms; (4) written report with a quantified annual savings roadmap and prioritized implementation plan.

Consider an audit if membrane replacement frequency is rising, chemical or energy costs are creeping up, recovery rate or permeate quality is drifting, you have changed operators or vendors recently, or you simply don't know whether you are getting full value from the plant. Most audits complete within four to six weeks.

A Performance Audit applies to an operating plant — already running but underperforming. The deliverable is a cost-out roadmap with quantified annual savings.

A Project Progress Audit applies to a project under construction. Two delivery modes — drone aerial site capture and senior engineer on-site walkdown — produce a written, timestamped, GPS-tagged record suitable for milestone payments, lender draws, insurance documentation, or disputes.

Large engineering firms deliver through teams of 20 to 100 with overhead burdened into every billable hour. SWTT delivers senior executive judgment directly — 28 years of utility-scale program leadership, with the responsiveness of a single principal-led engagement.

SWTT's principal holds an active Class A Electrical Engineer license in Qatar and is pursuing Florida PE registration. PE-sealed design and permitting deliverables are coordinated through licensed Florida PE partners as part of an engagement when required.

Across 28 years and six countries: a 9.25 MGD seawater reverse-osmosis plant at a master-planned resort community, a 7.13 MGD sewage treatment plant built for a major international airport, a $1 billion-plus capital improvement program serving 1.5 million residents with seven STWs and 82 pump stations, a remote desert mining-site water treatment operation, and dual 325 MW power-plant MSF desalination systems.

Yes. Private water and wastewater systems serving HOAs, golf-course communities, and resort developments are a core competency. SWTT typically serves as your independent technical advisor: vendor management, plant performance oversight, capital planning, FDEP compliance, and reserve-fund justification.

Fixed-fee project scope — for discrete deliverables like condition assessments, proposal reviews, or compliance roadmaps. Retainer-based fractional executive — monthly retainer for ongoing program oversight or capital-program leadership. Hourly advisory — for clients who need senior judgment on demand. All engagements start with a free 30-minute discovery call.

Yes. SWTT assesses the gap to compliance, builds the remediation roadmap, coordinates Florida PE-sealed deliverables through partner firms when needed, and manages the engagement with FDEP through to closure. Best practice is to engage 270+ days before permit expiration. Emergency engagements are also accepted.

Condition assessments and proposal reviews typically run two to six weeks. Asset management program builds run eight to sixteen weeks. Capital improvement program management is a multi-month to multi-year engagement.

Yes. Site visits within Seminole, Volusia, Orange, Lake, and Brevard Counties are included in most engagements. State-wide Florida travel is standard. International travel is available for clients with operations outside Florida.
