Maintaining healthy infrastructure

Maintaining healthy infrastructure

Brown and Caldwell is leading the Program Management Team assisting Orange County Utilities (OCU) with establishing a sustainable Infrastructure Renewal/Replacement Program for gravity sewer, force main, pump station, water and reclaimed water systems valued at more than $2 billion. The program strategy and robust implementation plan earned staff and management buy-in, while establishing a collaborative process to make key decisions about which assets to tackle and when, apply available funding to system needs in the best ways, and keep program priorities current and in-focus. The program has expedited condition assessment and renewal projects and established streamlined processes, financially sound plans, and effective tools and standards for infrastructure management and R/R implementation, reducing design and construction costs well into the future.
