Utility Infrastructure Design

Designing the Backbone of Modern Communities

RSP Engineers specializes in utility infrastructure design, creating the essential systems that deliver clean water and manage wastewater for communities and developments. We engineer robust, reliable, and efficient water distribution and sanitary sewer networks that are vital for public health and sustainable growth. Our expertise ensures your project is supported by infrastructure built for the future.

Engineering for Essential Water & Wastewater Systems

Our team provides end-to-end design services for the critical utility networks that serve residential, commercial, and municipal projects. We focus on creating systems that are not only compliant and efficient but also scalable to meet future demands.

Scope of Our Utility Design Services

We engineer comprehensive systems to deliver safe drinking water and effectively manage wastewater. Our core design services include:

- This includes the design of water main extensions, hydraulic modeling to ensure adequate pressure and flow, and fire flow calculations for safety.
- Engineering new pump stations or retrofitting existing ones to maintain required water pressure across the service area.
- We design gravity sewer networks, sewer force mains, and perform detailed system modeling.
- Designing and specifying new lift stations or rehabilitating existing ones to move wastewater efficiently.
- Managing the design and implementation of projects to connect properties from private septic systems to municipal sewer service, a key aspect of our Civil & Environmental Engineering.

Permitting for Utility Infrastructure

We streamline the complex permitting process for utility projects with regulatory bodies across the country, including our key service areas in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina.

Water and Sewer Permits
Securing approvals from county and city utility authorities (e.g., Miami-Dade County DERM, Palm Beach County) for new connections and system extensions.

FDEP & State Environmental Agency Permits
Managing applications for water main and sewer main extensions with state-level bodies like the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).

FDOH & Health Department Permits
Obtaining permits from the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) and other health agencies for septic tank systems and certain sewer extensions.

Utility Connection Permits
Coordinating with transportation departments (e.g., FDOT) for utility work within public rights-of-way.
