National Reports

Industry Tools Developed

  • Developed the EXPRSS-TP (EXtensive PRoject delivery Support System for Treatment Plants) tool for the Water Research Foundation. The EXPRSS-TP tool is a pioneering web-based project delivery method decision-support tool designed to support public and private water utilities across the world. EXPRSS-TP quantifies the project delivery method selection process, improves team alignment, and documents the critical delivery method decision process.
