The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provided much needed funding for the replacement of lead water services. CP has been engaged by New Jersey American Water to provide construction services for a major lead service line replacement project, funded by the Act through the N.J. Infrastructure Bank. The project includes the identification and replacement of lead and galvanized service lines complete from the main to the meter inside customer locations. Successful completion of this work will require a team effort and an effective public outreach. Current LSL replacements have completed approximately 7,800 property inspections and 4,100 replacements.
CP Engineers was retained by the NJ Division of Property Management & Construction to provide design, permitting, bidding and construction services for the upgrade of the domestic water supply system at the Pequest Fish Hatchery. The domestic water supply system provides potable water to six separate buildings, including the hatchery’s main administrative and educational facilities. Due to the presence of significant underground utilities, including the process water that supports over 700,000 trout, CP performed a comprehensive ground penetrating radar survey to create an accurate depiction of the subsurface infrastructure to protect it from damage during construction of the water supply improvements. The project was completed on time and on budget.
Our firm provided design, regulatory compliance, bid and construction phase services for improvements to the Air Stripping Tower at their water treatment facility. The stripping tower removes VOCs from the Borough’s groundwater wells which provide water to the entire Borough of Rockaway, as well as parts of Rockaway Township. Improvements included replacement of the packing with higher efficiency material, replacement of the air system, addition of an air filtration system, and piping changes within the building to enhance operations. The project was completed on time and below the project budget.
CP was retained by the Port Royal Municipal Authority to modernize their water system. The project included the construction of the Chlorination Building, storage tank and interconnecting facilities. This project eliminated two, 1900’s, hand-laid stone reservoirs which had significant leaks and a twenty-year-old block building which had fallen into disrepair. The goal of the Authority is to provide the cost-effective supply of clean potable water to the residents of Port Royal Borough and Turbett Township. By eliminating the leaks which required the Authority to withdraw approximately 120,000 gallons per day while only delivering approximately 70,000 gallons per day to their customers, the Authority saved daily operating costs.
The Authority selected our firm to provide construction administration and NACE certified observation services for the contract to rehabilitate a 3-million-gallon water storage tank. During the construction, we discovered structural deficiencies in the tank. We were retained to design structural repairs and provide construction administration and observation services on a separate structural repair contract.
The Township of Sparta retained our firm to provide permitting and design services for the rehabilitation of their Highlands Well No. 2. Services included an engineering evaluation of the existing well and recommendations for upgrades, regulatory review and permitting, and the design of facility upgrades.
Our firm provided planning, design, permitting, bidding, and construction phase services for the upgrade of the existing water system at the County of Sussex – Homestead Facility.

Our firm provided planning, design, permitting, bidding, and construction phase services for the installation of a state of the art 0.02 MGD water treatment facility which serves the Birch Hill Park residential community. Work also included water storage tank rehabilitation and upgrades. A key component of this treatment facility is to remove uranium from the system’s ground water supply.
Our firm was selected to provide construction administration and NACE certified construction observation services for the rehabilitation of a 180,000 gallon ground mounted potable water storage tank with a hemisphere roof. The tank provided flow to a secure area within Picatinny Arsenal and therefore was required to be rehabilitated under an extremely aggressive schedule. We worked closely with AWMS and the contractor to ensure all new OSHA and AWWA standards were fulfilled, identify potential time savings within the confines of the contract and verify the proper coating system application and curing requirements.
The East Orange Water Commission retained our firm to design the installation of an emergency power system to provide back-up power for the entire White Oak Ridge Pump Station. Equipment included a 2MW 5kV outdoor diesel genset in a sound attenuated enclosure with in-base fuel tank & fuel transfer system from an above ground fuel tank, 5kV automatic transfer switch/pair, 1000kW 5kV load bank, and related switchgear.
