Interim Operational Assistance

We provide operational support to help manage your water and wastewater systems on a temporary basis, to ensure that your facilities remain in compliance. Coverage can be utilized for operator illness, vacation, staff shortages, etc. We can assist in planning, monitoring, management, assessments, and reporting, including supplying recommendations for efficiencies noted during operational visits.

Public Works Support / Mentorship

HARP bridges gaps in supervisory staff shortages or transition periods. Our skilled professionals integrate with your staff to provide uninterrupted service and mentor current or inexperienced staff. We assess the operational requirements, plan steps forward, deploy seasoned experts to manage daily operations, provide reporting back to the community with suggested upgrades, and can also deliver assistance remotely. Additionally, Powered Mobile Equipment (PME) training and evaluations can be completed using materials from the Heavy Construction Safety Association of Saskatchewan.

3rd Party Operational / Design Review

We offer comprehensive operational and design review for optimization of water, wastewater, and public works operations. Our technical staff assess the current systems, forecasts future needs for items such as assets, maintenance, training, and compliance, then document it in reporting to administration. Through this review, organizational, operational, and cost efficiencies can be identified. HARP's experts can be the go-between with your consultant to ensure their design or recommendations meet community needs.

Our infrastructure assessments also include ratings on repair and replacement to include in 5-year (or longer) capital planning.
