Capital Program Planning

Successful development of water or wastewater projects requires insight beyond basic planning and engineering. SAIC helps customers select project management techniques, delivery methods, and financing options that maximize capital investments over the long term.


Business Acumen Plus Technical Expertise

Today, as never before, utilities are struggling with expanded responsibilities, restricted budgets, and dwindling talent pools. These constraints can push a utility's capabilities to the breaking point and undermine its ability to effectively execute complex, multimillion-dollar capital improvement programs.

To keep programs on track, SAIC acts as an extension of our customers' staff, combining business acumen with technical expertise. We integrate seamlessly into a customers' project team and work within the framework of our customers' standards, procedures, and expectations.
