Environmental projects are often comprised of a combination of commercial, industrial, and heavy civil building materials. However, in addition to dirt, gravel, asphalt, concrete, rebar, steel, and piping, we also need specialized materials such as pumps, valves, filters, membranes, and aerators, just to name a few. Special electronic equipment and controls are also part of the mix on these projects, and a vital one at that. Because the facility isn't really of much use unless it can operate and perform as designed, these elements become a critical part of the equation. The construction manager, who often has an engineering background, must be familiar with these items and their operation so they can manage their procurement, delivery, installation, and sometimes even performance after installation.
