Caribbean Projects
CES works with various clients including architects and developers on projects in the eastern Caribbean. Project scopes have ranged from development of preliminary planning and cost estimates for subdivisions/developments, to site evaluation, preliminary and final design of wastewater systems to serve individual residents and luxury villas. Design work has been performed for projects located in the Virgin Islands and Anguilla.

Wastewater system serving a 23 unit condo complex on St Thomas. This system replaced a failed system, and produces recycle quality water needed for indoor (toilet flushing) and outdoor landscaping uses.

Wastewater system serving a “green” shoreline residential resort development on Anguilla, BWI. This project is under construction and will also produce recycle quality water for outdoor use and indoor use later if needed for water conservation.

Numerous residential wastewater systems serving homes on St Thomas, St John and Anguilla. These designs are all site specific, varying from systems relying on soil-based treatment to those producing recycle quality water to meet project owners on-site needs.

Wastewater Planning for a 500-Home Development
CES was contacted by an Austin area developer to explore the cost-effectiveness of various wastewater service options to serve the first phase of a large development being planned east of Austin, and for which centralized wastewater service was not yet available.  The first phase of the planned project consisted of approximately 500 homes.  CES conducted soils evaluations in areas of the property identified as available for use as final effluent dispersal fields.  It was determined that there were sufficient depths of soils of suitable types in this area of the property to propose use of this area for subsurface dispersal fields.
