Full-Service Approach to
GROUNDWATER and SURFACE WATER MONITORING
Ongoing monitoring obligations do not end when a permit is issued or a study is complete. McFadden Engineering is a water resources consulting firm providing groundwater and surface water monitoring, stream and watershed modeling and surface water sampling services for municipal and industrial clients managing long-term compliance and watershed study requirements. Using in-house lab equipment and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software, our engineers and geologists evaluate soil, groundwater and surface water together as one connected system.
QUESTIONS CLIENTS SHOULD CONSIDER
If any of these sound familiar, that’s exactly the kind of problem our engineering approach is built to solve.
SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED Engineering APPROACH
Groundwater, surface water and soil move together as one system, so McFadden’s engineers and geologists evaluate them together rather than in isolation.
Step 1 – Assess
The McFadden team evaluates a site’s soil, groundwater and surface water conditions together, constructing subsurface cross-sections where needed to understand how contaminants or flow move through the system.
Step 2 – Model
Using in-house lab equipment and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software, our team builds groundwater flow models, stream models or watershed models specific to the problem at hand.
Step 3 – Monitor
The McFadden team installs groundwater monitoring wells and establishes surface water sampling programs designed to generate the data a regulatory agency or client needs.
Step 4 – Report and Maintain
McFadden Engineering provides the ongoing data review, reporting and monitoring well maintenance that keep a monitoring program compliant for as long as the obligation exists.
McFadden Engineering designs and installs groundwater monitoring wells and manages the ongoing sampling programs that track groundwater conditions over time, often as part of a site assessment or remediation project.
Using in-house lab equipment, the McFadden team provides surface water sampling and water quality testing to evaluate conditions, track compliance or support a watershed study.
McFadden Engineering builds stream and watershed models to evaluate water quality, flow conditions and the impact of development, discharges or restoration projects on a watershed.
Whether the question is how a floodplain behaves, how a stream will respond to a new discharge or how a distribution system performs under different conditions, McFadden Engineering builds hydrologic and hydraulic models scaled to the actual problem.
McFadden Engineering designs and installs groundwater monitoring wells and manages the ongoing sampling programs that track groundwater conditions over time, often as part of a site assessment or remediation project.
For municipal and utility clients, McFadden brings engineering discipline to public water and wastewater infrastructure, from treatment plant upgrades to the permitting and compliance work municipal systems must maintain year over year.
For clients with small to medium flow wastewater systems, McFadden offers training, maintenance and full facility management, giving facilities without a dedicated operations team access to engineering-backed day-to-day support.
Using in-house lab equipment and modeling software, McFadden builds water quality and hydraulic models to evaluate a facility’s problem before committing to a design direction, reducing the risk of over- or under-sizing a solution.
