The firm’s multidisciplinary approach affords its design team a broad understanding of end-user functionality, transportation and parking, vehicle flow, pedestrian movement and safety, ADA requirements, and environmental and zoning considerations. As a result, FWA can provide comprehensive professional services, including all related land planning, civil engineering and environmental support, from initial concept to construction and grow-in.

Water Resources
Because each site presents unique challenges, clients benefit from Frederick Ward Associates’ multi-disciplinary approach to water resource projects. FWA combines the expertise of its engineers with that of its environmental specialists, landscape architects and surveyors to provide optimum hydrologic, hydraulic and environmental solutions for water resource management in urban or rural settings. The firm has extensive experience in watershed/stream assessment and restoration, erosion and sediment control, floodplain analysis and flood control, dam and reservoir planning, wetlands restoration and habitat enhancement.

Utilities
The FWA engineering team brings years of utility operations experience and wide-ranging construction knowledge to water treatment and supply, sewer and storm water systems, and wastewater collection and disposal, as well as electric, natural gas, and telecommunications. The team includes surveyors and planners, who provide complementary, multidisciplinary site services, as well as technicians, zoning experts, right-of-way negotiators and permit coordinators who expedite approvals and construction. The result: utility projects that efficiently serve public needs, meet client goals and can be cost-effectively built, operated and maintained.

Roads and Highways
Frederick Ward Associates provides innovative engineering solutions and unparalleled construction management services, whether it is building new roads or enhancing the safety and capacity of existing highways. In handling these projects, located mostly in the densely populated Mid-Atlantic region, FWA considers impact on businesses, motorists and surrounding communities and places a priority on efficient maintenance of traffic flow along critical arteries during construction. The firm is equally at ease with design-bid-build or design-build contracts at the local, state or federal levels.
