About ADC

ADC is a water and wastewater engineering firm focused on delivering practical, buildable solutions for utilities, small to mid-size towns, and private developments.

Our approach prioritizes speed, practical solutions, and cost discipline from day one. We work with clients early to understand real budget constraints and develop solutions that can realistically be permitted, constructed, and operated. If a project cannot be delivered within those constraints, we aim to identify that as early as possible—before unnecessary time and cost are wasted.

Our team stays directly involved from concept through delivery to ensure the work performs in the real world, within real budgets—not just on paper.

Our experience spans decentralized wastewater systems, conventional and packaged treatment plants, water infrastructure, and regulatory coordination across multiple states, including new facilities and rehabilitation and upgrades of existing systems.

Our leadership team remains directly involved in every project, providing continuity, accountability, and hands-on execution from start to finish.

Project Execution

Every ADC project is led and executed by our core team. We stay directly involved throughout design, permitting, and implementation to maintain consistency and accountability. When specialized expertise is required—such as geotechnical, surveying, or other supporting disciplines—we coordinate with trusted partners to ensure each project is fully supported without adding unnecessary complexity.

Where We Work

ADC supports projects across multiple states—including Arizona, Washington, Tennessee, and Ohio—with offices in Mesa, Arizona and Tacoma, Washington. We work with municipalities, utilities, and private clients on systems ranging from decentralized solutions to multi-million-dollar treatment facilities.
