Anthony Eagan, P.E. and Stephen Laun, P.E. of D&B Engineers and Architects recently presented to the Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA) during a General Meeting, highlighting an innovative infrastructure solution developed for Albertson Water District.
The presentation, titled “The Main Squeeze – Using Transmission Mains to Replace Lost Capacity,” focused on how strategic engineering and hydraulic modeling can be used to address system limitations and restore operational balance. Using a comprehensive hydraulic model of the district, D&B identified key bottlenecks in water conveyance and developed a transmission main strategy to improve system performance and resiliency.
The project demonstrated how forward-thinking planning and design can help water providers maintain adequate supply and pressure during periods when critical facilities are temporarily offline. As water districts continue to navigate aging infrastructure, regulatory demands, and operational challenges, solutions like this support reliable service and long-term system stability. D&B remains committed to sharing knowledge and best practices with industry partners and supporting local utilities through practical, data-driven engineering solutions.
