Full-Service Approach to
Water and Sewer Infrastructure Design
Water and sewer infrastructure design is the foundation of a reliable public utility system. McFadden Engineering provides municipal utility design services covering everything below the surface: water main and lift station design, sewer line design engineering and the utility master plan engineering that keeps a growing area’s infrastructure ahead of demand. As a municipal and utility engineering firm serving communities across the Southeast, we size every system to flow and capacity data, coordinated with other utilities already in the ground, so final solutions perform for decades.
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
Utility infrastructure must work underground, out of sight, for the life of the system, so we design it with the same rigor whether it’s a single lift station or a full service-area extension.
Step 1 – Assess
We evaluate existing utility infrastructure, service area demand and site conditions, and confirm what the new or upgraded system needs to accommodate, including future growth.
Step 2 – Design
We engineer water distribution, sanitary sewer and drainage systems sized to actual flow and demand, coordinated against every other utility already in the ground to avoid conflicts before construction starts.
Step 3 – Permit and Coordinate
McFadden manages permitting and coordination with the utility owners, municipalities and regulatory agencies whose infrastructure and requirements the project touches.
Step 4 – Support Construction
Our engineers remain involved throughout construction to resolve any field conditions as they arise, so the system constructed matches the system designed.
From new development extensions to upgrades of aging lines, we design potable water main and distribution systems sized to current and future demand.
Our sewer line design engineering and lift station design work moves wastewater reliably from the source to the treatment point, sized to flow.
Underground utility work rarely happens in isolation. We design storm drainage conveyance as part of the same utility corridor and coordinate the full utility package (water, sewer, storm and dry utilities) so systems don’t conflict underground or during construction.
For municipalities and utilities planning for growth, our utility master plan engineering evaluates existing system capacity and develops a phased plan for infrastructure investments.
From new development extensions to upgrades of aging lines, we design potable water main and distribution systems sized to current and future demand.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. McFadden’s utility master plan engineering evaluates existing system capacity and condition, then develops a phased capital improvement plan municipalities and utilities can use to guide infrastructure investment over time.
McFadden designs both. The McFadden team handles water distribution system design, sewer line design engineering and lift station design as part of the same coordinated utility infrastructure project, so systems are engineered together rather than utilizing separate firms working in isolation.
Yes. McFadden regularly responds to municipal RFPs and qualifications packages and works within public procurement processes, from initial scoping through design, permitting and construction support.
