As water becomes a more important design consideration in many parts of the world, Alden water resource engineers and biologists are on the forefront of developing innovative ways to understand water use within projects of all sizes from building to site to neighborhood and city scales.
By providing detailed site-specific water budget analysis including stormwater, interior, and exterior water demand, Alden can team with developers, planners, owners, municipalities, and regulatory agencies to minimize the impact of projects on the environment and on related water supply, sewage treatment, and stormwater quality and conveyance infrastructure. Alden's Conservation and Sustainability Engineering Services can add value to conservation strategies including:
• multi-disciplinary design workshops and charrettes
• rainwater harvesting
• stormwater harvesting
• stream restoration and habitat enhancement
• decentralized and non-structural stormwater treatment design and construction
• grey and black water harvesting
• mining and process water reuse
• water reuse
• water balance
• cost savings
• environmental impacts - energy and carbon impacts
• climate change effects on water use strategies
• hydrokinetic and wind power production planning and technical studies
Additionally, Alden has LEED accredited staff (LEED AP BD+C) who are available to provide LEED compliant strategies, documentation, and submittal assistance for sustainable site stormwater credits and water efficiency credits as well as associated heat island, green roof, and habitat credits.
Alden personnel have worked on water budgets, provided conservation measures, and evaluated alternative and decentralized stormwater and wastewater systems in Europe, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean as well as many projects throughout the East and West Coasts and arid Southwest regions of the United States.
