Client Advocacy and Consultant Oversight

When engaging in a water or wastewater treatment project with a consulting firm, it’s critical to understand the firm’s findings so that you end up with a system that meets your company’s needs.

Providing Design Advice
Ensuring Proper Installation
Providing Start Up Assistance

If your company does not employ a team member with water or wastewater experience, McKinnon Engineering LLC can serve as the intermediary between your company and the consulting firm to ensure project success.

Read about how Mr. McKinnon guidance helped one client avoid costly mistakes.

We’ll work as an advocate for your company to:

  • Make sure the consulting firm performs a comprehensive, pre-design engineering analysis
  • Set design parameters and confirm mutual understanding of the design plan
  • Serve as a design advisor to the consultant on areas that are not part of their core expertise
  • Monitor the consultant’s work throughout the process, identify potential issues early-on, and make sure they are addressed within agreed upon budget and timing parameters
  • Confirm that the final product corresponds to your expectations
  • Assist with operations planning and start-up, operator training, and initial operations monitoring so that the new facility runs smoothly once built
The use of a client liaison can prevent a number of costly issues ranging from regulatory non-compliance and equipment failure to safety problems and excessive energy use.

By having John on this project, I did save a huge amount of capital reinvestment and waste of time and efforts.
Nicolas ODENProject LeaderKimberly-Clark Europe
I worked with John McKinnon for over a year on a particularly challenging capital project and throughout that time John demonstrated an exceptionally positive and focused skill set and attitude.

John’s water and waste water expertise was paramount to identifying and addressing engineering and process issues, working with a problematic joint venture supplier and the ‘hands on’ provision of communication and training for the client’s employees.
