LVDV Operations

After 20 years of providing municipal, industrial, and private clients with design engineering and construction phase services, Lamont Engineers recognized that many clients needed assistance with the operation of their water and wastewater systems. Some had difficulty recruiting properly licensed personnel; some found that having their water and wastewater systems operate as part of their public works department had become unwieldy or beyond the abilities or manpower constraints of existing staff; some had difficulty with scheduling proper system coverage by licensed personnel; and some faced operational problems beyond the experience and knowledge of their current staff.

In response to that need, LVDV Operations, Inc. was formed as an affiliate company of Lamont Engineers. With experienced and properly licensed professional operators, LVDV Operations, Inc. provides contract operations and consultant services to clients in eastern New York.
