DENVER, COLORADO - Richard P. Arber Associates has added Travis E. Meyer, P.E., to its Water and Wastewater Consulting Engineering Firm. Mr. Meyer has over six years of experience as a civil and environmental engineer. He received both his B.S. in Civil Engineering and M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Colorado.

Mr. Meyer’s primary focus is engineering process design and construction services for water and wastewater systems. His project experience includes design, construction, and operation of pilot-scale water treatment plants, design of solids handling, wastewater collection, and water distribution systems. At Richard P. Arber Associates he is currently working on projects in Southern California and for the City of Black Hawk. The California project includes using a multi-process water treatment system to clean contaminated groundwater at a Superfund site to drinking water quality standards. He participated in design, construction, and operation of a 350 gpm pilot plant to demonstrate the process to the California Department of Health Services.

For Black Hawk, Mr. Meyer evaluated possible causes and developed alternative solutions for water hammer problems experienced in the City’s water distribution system. He used computer modeling software to identify the problem and recommended installation of pressure relief valves and piping modifications to prevent or reduce the severity of future water hammer events.
