AI plan check for water & wastewater treatment plants

Water and wastewater projects have unique coordination challenges: process equipment, structural tanks, complex piping, and specialized codes. AI catches the conflicts that slip through discipline-specific reviews before they become field problems.First $100 covered. See all checkers

Water & wastewater projects have unique complexity

Treatment plants combine civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and process engineering, all with specialized requirements that don't exist in typical building projects.

Process-structural coordination

  • Tank and basin structural dimensions vs process requirements
  • Equipment foundation sizing and anchor bolt details
  • Pipe penetration locations vs structural reinforcement
  • Walkway and platform loading vs structural capacity
  • Clarifier mechanism supports and embedments

Mechanical & piping

  • Pump and blower schedule conflicts with electrical
  • Pipe routing and support spacing requirements
  • Valve and actuator specification consistency
  • Process flow diagram vs P&ID coordination
  • Chemical feed system material compatibility

Electrical & I&C

  • Motor control center sizing for process loads
  • VFD and soft starter specifications
  • Instrument location vs process requirements
  • SCADA and PLC I/O coordination
  • Hazardous area classification consistency

Code compliance

  • State environmental agency requirements
  • AWWA and WEF design standards
  • OSHA confined space requirements
  • Chemical storage code compliance
  • ADA accessibility for operations areas

Sample issues caught

  • Pipe dimension conflicts between plan and details
  • Hook detail and reinforcement specification inconsistencies
  • Compaction requirements vs specification conflicts
  • Drilled shaft and anchor bolt specification errors
  • Bill of materials showing zero quantities (obvious errors)

Perfect for design-build contractors

Many water/wastewater projects use design-build delivery. AI plan review helps design-build contractors catch issues in their engineer's drawings before construction, protecting margins and preventing rework.

  • Review 90% sets before final coordination
  • Catch spec vs drawing conflicts early
  • Generate pre-construction RFI questions
  • Revised-set checks with volume pricing for high-throughput teams

Not just office buildings and churches

Our AI understands specialized infrastructure projects. The same algorithm that checks residential and commercial also handles treatment plants, bridges, and industrial facilities, just different codes and details.

  • Water & wastewater

    Treatment plants, pump stations, reservoirs
  • Bridges & infrastructure

    Bridges, tunnels, transportation
  • Industrial facilities

    Manufacturing, process, power
