McFadden Engineering

Proper wastewater treatment is one of the most direct ways to protect local waterways. When wastewater isn’t properly treated, contaminants can work their way into the soil and aquifers below, eventually surfacing in streams and rivers.

McFadden Engineering’s wastewater operators are a key part of that protection. Wastewater treatment operators manage plant equipment, test water samples to meet state environmental standards and ensure communities have clean, safe water.

With decades of experience in the wastewater sector, McFadden Engineering is the expert when it comes to industrial wastewater treatment. We specialize in analyzing existing treatment processes and then optimizing and/or expanding those processes for the benefit of the client. Contact us to learn more.

Because infrastructure takes up so much space and touches many areas, even unknowingly, in our lives, it is critical for these systems to be sustainably designed, constructed and cared for to keep environmental and human health as a top priority.

McFadden has played various supporting roles in sustainable infrastructure projects across the Southeast and the country. Our engineering team can provide site assessment and remediation prior to project initiation and support environmental compliance efforts throughout projects, which are keys to developing sustainable infrastructure. Civil and environmental engineering services are critical for sustainable infrastructure projects to remain in compliance and be completed on time, and can include development master planning, grading and drainage plan development, detention/retention design and stormwater management.

No matter the type of sustainable infrastructure project or complexity of environmental implications surrounding it, McFadden is equipped to help. Browse our services and contact us today to learn more.

August is National Water Quality Month. McFadden Engineering has been on the leading edge of water quality modeling for more than 30 years, helping to develop some of the first water quality models used by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM).

Water quality modeling can be used to estimate the environmental impact of factors such as wastewater treatment plant discharges, industrial activity and commercial site development. Our engineers specialize in developing innovative water quality models and analyzing modeling results for private clients, municipalities and regulatory agencies. Utilizing our Hach® in-house laboratory equipment, results are available in a matter of hours, minimizing the time and added cost of outsourcing lab results.
