Converse Consultants is proud to have provided the geotechnical engineering, materials testing and inspection services for the World’s largest groundwater project of this type – the Orange County Water District’s Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS). The project consisted of modifying from 70 MGD to a total of 130 MGD Advanced Water Treatment Facility. The expansion required the construction of new structures, two 7.5 MG storage tanks, 54-inch dia. pipeline, UV facility, two new UV trains, a decarbonation tower, a lime saturator, new RO trains, hypochlorite storage tanks, dosing pumps, surge tank, concrete diversion box, AV/AR valves and other modifications and upgrades. Our project team included Dr. Hashmi Quazi, Dr. Siva K. Sivathasan, PhD, PE, GE, DGE,QSD,F. ASCE, Sean Castillo, Manny Liwag, Sri Srikanth, Kathy Laurel, Penney Munns, Aleksey Zhukov, Tony Maciel, and Babak Abbasi; and our contract amount totaled nearly $1.4 million. From OCWD’s press release for the dedication ceremony, “the GWRS now provides up to 130 million gallons of water a day, supporting 2.5 million people and businesses in north and central Orange County. Since its operational inception in January of 2008, the GWRS has produced more than 400 billion gallons of water and counting. This final expansion is an immense collaboration of innovation and foresight between OCWD and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSAN). Both agencies are grateful to our many partners such as Converse for their dedication to this project.“ Converse also sponsored the GWRS Final Expansion Dedication Ceremony held on April 14th. It was an enormous success, with approximately 350 guests and many federal, state and local elected officials in attendance to mark this final milestone. We are grateful for the opportunity and send a BIG congratulations to OCWD and OCSAN for an incredible undertaking and look forward to our continued successful relationship!!

We have 75 years of experience providing these services during entire design and construction phases, as well as acquisition and development stages, and through closure of the remediation process. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Converse has continued to provide our services to our clients while protecting the health of our valued employees and their families. All offices support employees working from home while leaving our offices open for essential services, and for employees who need access to special equipment or just need a productive environment to work in. All necessary precautions are being taken to make sure all employees, both in the field and office, are safe. Sanitizing stations were installed throughout the buildings and face coverings are worn while in the offices. Posters reminding our employees to practice social distancing and to frequently wash their hands are found throughout our buildings. Because we are an essential service, we have been able to continue serving our clients. Our history, combined with our current experience, has made Converse the preferred choice for our clients. We hope to continue to be yours.
