We design, manufacture, integrate, and commission complete water treatment solutions
Each Rescue Engineers water treatment system is purpose-built and engineered for simplicity, reliability, ease of maintenance, and performance. We specialize in the removal of hexavalent chromium, iron and manganese, arsenic, and turbidity using field-proven chemical feed systems to achieve mandated water quality requirements.

Workflow
Our first objective is to comprehensively understand the site-specific water quality and the required regulatory goals. We then follow a disciplined workflow process that integrates piloting and treatability studies to ensure that the proposed solution will be effective and scalable while satisfying the required regulatory water quality compliance standards.
We deliver complete treatment solutions from conceptual design through fabrication, installation, commissioning services, and owner acceptance.
Our team remains engaged throughout the project lifecycle, supporting contractors with commissioning oversight and owners with long-term service planning.
What we deliver
Originally led by civil engineers with deep expertise in hydrology and dam design, Rescue Engineers quickly established itself as a trusted partner to California utilities for the delivery of custom horizontal and vertical pressure filters engineered for reliability, longevity, and fully-compliant water quality performance.
Deep expertise
With decades of field installation experience, we serve as a valued partner that can manage the entire on-pad scope. This can include prefiltration, chemical feed systems, instrumentation and control panels, filters, and all interconnecting-pipe to complete the system.
Purpose-built products
Our system components are selected for mechanical integrity, contaminant removal and backwash operational efficiency. Design and project management for the complete treatment system is handled in house with our exceptional bench strength.
Technical services
Rescue Engineers provides comprehensive technical services to ensure that each treatment system is properly installed, commissioned, and meets all regulatory water compliance requirements in order to ultimately satisfy owner acceptance.
