Expert Witness Water Wastewater Sewage, Sewerage and Drainage Engineer

I'm getting a few enquiries in for expert witness work. Mostly they are to do with dirty water treatment (sewage, wastewater and trade effluent), but there are also clean water enquiries.

Though I am trained and experienced as an expert witness, including experience of court appearances and cross examination, I am an engineering practitioner with a sideline in expert witness work, rather then an expert in being an expert who has not practiced engineering in a long time, like some of my competitors.

Other then that, I'm doing a bit of design work, and making arrangements for some process commissioning work in November/December. Not the ideal time for commissioning a biological effluent treatment plant, but things fall where they fall.

Water and Sewage Treatment Process Design, Commissioning and Troubleshooting

I've been finalising the design of an industrial effluent treatment plant this week, and fixing site dates for commissioning. Delivery periods being what they are, its going to be well into winter now.

Water Engineering Training Courses

I've spent a fair part of this week discussing providing overseas training courses in Water and Sewage Treatment Plant Design, based on my most recent IChemE book, "An Applied Guide to Water and Effluent Treatment Plant Design".

I've also done a certain amount of actual design work, finalising the design of the upgraded effluent treatment plant for my long-running commercial client.

Packaged Sewage Treatment Plant Problems

I've just put our popular page on packaged sewage treatment plant problems back up on the website. If you have a misbehaving sewage treatment plant, I can help.

If it has fixable problems, I can help you fix it by telling you what they are. If it isn't fixable, I can help you as an expert witness.

Water Process Engineer Training Design Commissioning and Operation

The new website is finally working properly, after dealing with some annoying changes to Google's systems. Training is an important activity for us, especially in the Middle and Far East, though we have some enquiries from the Indian subcontinent and Africa at present, and occasionally do a UK contract.

Part of our site relaunch are four new expert witness pages, including one on my water engineering expert witness services.

Water Process Engineering Expertise: Design, Supply, Procure, Deliver, Install, Commission, and Test Effluent Treatment Plant

I made my recommendation today for the supplier to use to provide a new effluent treatment plant for my long-standing commercial laboratory client.

There were an interesting set of interdependent circumstances to get right at this site. How the lab operates, the discharge consent and the treatment plant type all had to be negotiated with multiple parties in order to get to this point.

I'll be back on site to supervise installation and commissioning in the autumn, and carry out a performance trial. It's good to be back doing some real engineering.

Water Wastewater Effluent Engineer Expertise

I updated my main website this morning 

Water Process Plant Design Engineer

I've finalised the details of the new effluent treatment plant for lab wastewater this week, working with a prospective supplier.

Other than that, I've been speaking to people overseas about training courses, and proofreading the second edition of my first IChemE book, "An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design"
