The Blackwell Engineering Environmental Department is dedicated to providing quality environmental services. The firm provides a myriad of services that include that include, but are not limited to, wastewater treatment and design, well design, septic design, drain field placement and design, industrial facility stormwater pollution prevention plans and spill plans.
Providing truly innovative environmental techniques to help increase quality and efficiency and decrease pollution and waste has been the main focus of Principal Environmental Engineer, Rick Blackwell, for over 20 years. In 2008, Mr. Blackwell formulated and presented House Bill #1166 in the State of Virginia that allows Environmental Engineers to have the freedom of using "best practices" while coming up with environmental designs. This particular process helps keep engineers' designs and ideas as environmentally aware and effective as possible.
Roger Burnett, the Senior Environmental Engineer at Blackwell Engineering, has spent over 45 years working in septic and well design for the U.S. Air Force and other environmental agencies and firms. He not only has an abundance of knowledge on many different systems and techniques, but has also helped create new, more effective and efficient septic systems as well as working with Mr. Blackwell in formulating House Bill #1166.
One of the most recent ventures that the Environmental Department has contracted, is to create, design and build wastewater treatment plants for industrial facilities in Bangladesh. This new international quest stems from not only the need to keep this area environmentally friendly, but also the humanitarian responsibility to help people in other countries live safely and know that there are better alternatives for themselves and their families... especially in the form of drinking water.
