Not all inspectors are created equal. Our inspectors know WATER and PIPELINE.

Why H2Ou inspectors

Water Is Our Specialty.

Potable water pipelines and facilities are our specialty. The work is judged on disinfection and bac-t sampling, pressure testing, AWWA standards and DDW requirements, and that is the work our inspectors know.

• Water pipelines first

  Mains, services and fire services

  Most of our projects are water main replacements, facility upgrades and development work, from $10M+ capital projects down to infill, main extensions and fire services.

• Water facilities

  Tanks, wells, pump stations, treatment

  We also inspect the facilities on the system: storage tanks, glass-fused bolted steel tanks, wells, pump stations and treatment plants.

• Potable water standards

  Built around drinking water

  Disinfection and bac-t sampling, pressure testing, AWWA standards and DDW requirements are the standards we inspect to.

• Trench + operations

  Field and operator experience

  Most of our inspectors worked as pipe layers, crew foremen and equipment operators before they became inspectors, and some hold water treatment or distribution operator licenses.

• DFRs + GPS mapping

  Every day, on the record

  A tablet Daily Field Report (DFR) filed at the trench every working day before leaving the site, plus survey-grade GPS mapping of new valves, fittings and services as they are built.

• Oversight | Modular teams

  Scott Myers and Mark Duchesne

  Scott Myers (PE, T4, D3, CSLB A and C-36) and Mark Duchesne oversee every region. We work in modular regional teams, each led by a supervising inspector, so we can stand up a team where you need one.
