CH2M HILL Selected - '100 Best
Companies to Work For'
DENVER, Jan. 7 -- CH2M HILL has been
named by Fortune magazine as one of America's top employers in 2002.
Among the more than 1,000 firms nationwide that were considered,
CH2M HILL was the only Colorado- based company and the only
engineering firm to make the list.
The publication's annual ranking of
the "100 Best Companies to Work For" is determined through
an extensive nomination and application process. Two- thirds of the
score is based on how randomly selected employees respond to the
Great Place to Work Trust Index, a survey instrument measuring the
quality of workplace culture.
"As CH2M HILL has grown, the
company has expanded its efforts to maintain its standing among
employees and potential recruits as a great place to work,"
said Ralph Peterson, CH2M HILL chairman, president and CEO.
"This recognition by Fortune is a positive reflection of these
efforts, and we are extremely proud to be among the best places to
work in America.
"For 57 years, CH2M HILL has
worked hard to distinguish itself, not just as one of the nation's
leading infrastructure design and project delivery companies, but as
a respectful, wholesome and nurturing place to work. From its
earliest days, the founders of the company sought fair and honorable
ways to build the business and share the rewards of success with
employees."
CH2M HILL was selected, in part, due
to its competitive compensation and benefits packages, system of
open and accessible communications practices, ownership culture,
learning and development opportunities, and work-life balance
programs for employees.
Responses to the firm's most recent
annual employee survey showed a growing sense of purpose, community
and self-worth. A full 85 percent of employees who responded to the
survey indicated that they are treated fairly by the company, and
nearly eight out of ten (77.6 percent) feel that CH2M HILL gives
ample consideration to the demands on their personal lives.
CH2M HILL is an employee-owned,
global firm providing engineering, construction, operations, and
related technical services to public and private clients in numerous
industries. The firm's work is concentrated in the areas of energy,
environment, water, transportation, telecommunications,
construction, and industrial facilities. Headquartered in Denver,
CH2M HILL has more than 10,500 employees working in 165 offices
worldwide where respect for the environment is reflected in safe,
innovative and environmentally sound work practices.
Management at the Ventura, CA
Regional Sanitation District has put an end to rag-generated
clogging of pumps and pipes through the installation of a Honey
Monster septage receiving system. The high-tech Honey Monster from
JWC Environmental helps to make Honey truck receiving areas clean,
sanitary and efficient.
The
Honey Monster is an easy-to-install modular system that removes
inorganic solids from wastewater, washes and dewaters the solids and
decreases volume by grinding them up. Rags, plastics, sticks &
other solids are quickly shredded by the powerful Muffin Monster
grinder. This protects pumps and prevents clogging.
"Rags tended to find each other
and form ropy, knotty masses we called 'mopheads', which added
significantly to our maintenance burden by clogging pumps and pipes,
and building up in tank bottoms," said Ken Rock, Director of
Water and Wastewater for the Ventura, CA district.
Sewage flow from a Honey truck first
travels to a Muffin Monster grinder that reduces solids to tiny
particles. Then the flow enters a stainless steel tank where an
Auger Monster screens out inorganic solids, washes fecal matter back
into the waste stream, dewaters the solids and dumps them in a bin.
The processed liquid waste is then sent to the treatment plant.
The system results in lighter and
drier dumpster waste that has fewer odors and is cheaper to
landfill. The fully automated system can unload a truck in 5-15
minutes and requires no plant personnel to operate. The optional
card reader system allows a plant to control access, meter flow and
generate billing. This is a popular option for plants with low
staffing levels and lots of Honey truck traffic.

September
in Beijing, China
Water China 2003
Beijing, China -- Your organization
is cordially invited to exhibit at Water China 2003 that will be
held at China National Agricultural Exhibition Center, Beijing,
China, September 16-19, 2003.
Why Water China 2003?
Extensive Support from the government
departments: Water China has for years received extensive support
from our sponsors, the central ministries of China that are in
charge of, among many activities, environmental protection (State
Environment Protection Administration, China-SEPA), city
construction (Ministry of Construction, China-MC) and international
cooperation on science and technology (Ministry of Science and
Technology, China-MOST), who have also helped bring quality visitors
to the show;
Focusing exclusively on Water
& Wastewater:
Water China, unlike other shows in
China that usually involve other sectors of environment, focuses on
Water and Wastewater exclusively, bringing real professionals to the
exhibitors
A well established international
event:
Water China, held in the Chinese
capital annually since 1998, has grown to be the most influential
trade show on water and wastewater. It is well-known not only in
China, but in many other parts of the world. Over 300 exhibitors
have represented over 10 countries and regions, including Australia,
Austria, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Korea,
Singapore, Sweden and USA. Attendees have come from 25 of China's 31
provinces, HKSAR and Taiwan, plus over 10 counties in different
parts of the globe;
Huge market potential:
The world's biggest developing
country who imposes increasing importance on water and wastewater,
China has huge market potentials. Take sewage treatment for
instance. About 3.7 billion tons of sewage is produced in cities
across the country each day. Even if 50 per cent of the wastewater
were treated, then 10,000 sewage treatment plants would be needed,
representing a market value of US $48.4 billion;
An aggressive year-round marketing
campaign:
Show listings, editorial coverage,
and advertisements in core market trade magazines, websites and
newspapers, plus direct mails and emails will make Water China 2003
known to a minimum of 1,000,000 readers worldwide.

exhibition, please feel free to contact: Grand Exhibition Services Co., Ltd.

Mr. ReNeil wants to more about
concrete tanks:
Who sets the standards for
underground wastewater treatment tanks in regards to thickness,
waterproofing, etc? Is there an overall governing body at work
or is it related directly to the city, county, or state.
I have received many different
responses and am wondering what determines the jurisdiction they
fall under. (Click

Mr. Dave needs help with excess
flocculent measurement:
We are using Poly Acryl Amide
flocculent [MW 10 to 15 Million] for removing suspended solids
from process water. Can any one tell, any possibility of carry over
of excess\unused polymer with clarifier overflow water and if yes,
how to detect it?
At present, a crude method like
Jar Test of effluent with clarified water is done, gives some hint,
but not much reliable. Excess flocculent dosing is not only
costly but may create problem when clarified water is recycled in
system.

This
week's photo is of RMC's recycled water pipeline installation.
This pipeline forms the critical link in a recycled water system for
the Dublin-San Ramon Valley. The welded steel pipeline is designed
to operate at up to 200 PSI, ultimately delivering up to 17 million
gallons per day of recycled water.
We would love to have your photo of a
water treatment process, new plant or equipment "action
