Additional Specialty Services
Specialized Expertise That Supports Complex Infrastructure Projects
In addition to our core service areas, RH2 offers a range of specialty services that support planning, design, construction, and long-term system performance. These services are often integrated into larger projects or provided as targeted support to help clients address specific challenges while giving our personnel opportunities to apply specialized skills across a variety of project types.
Materials Integrity & Corrosion Protection
RH2 provides materials integrity services focused on protecting infrastructure assets to maximize asset life cycles. We consider material selection, construction practices, protective coatings, and cathodic protection systems to develop solutions to meet the performance needs, life expectancy, and budget for the asset. For existing assets, condition assessments allow us to determine remaining useful life and identify targeted strategies for rehabilitation.
By evaluating materials integrity considerations on a project-specific basis, we help clients make informed decisions that facilitate optimal life-cycle performance.
Peer Review & Value Engineering
RH2 regularly supports agencies through peer review, value engineering, and development review services. These efforts help clients validate design approaches, identify opportunities for improvement, and strengthen confidence in project decisions.
Our reviews may include:
-
Plans, specifications, and technical memoranda.
-
Funding and grant application materials.
-
Permitting documentation and regulatory submittals.
-
Constructability, risk, and cost considerations.
This work draws on expertise across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental, and controls disciplines and provides balanced, objective insight grounded in real-world project experience.
Services During Construction
RH2 provides construction-phase services with a focus on protecting client interests while supporting efficient project delivery. Our teams understand that field conditions do not always align perfectly with design documents and work quickly and collaboratively to resolve issues when they arise.
Construction support may include contract administration, construction observation, change evaluation, and assistance with issue resolution to help projects move forward while maintaining quality and compliance.
Fire Flow Testing
Fire flow testing provides valuable insight into the condition and performance of water distribution systems. RH2 performs fire flow testing using field-verified methods and RH2-owned equipment to help clients understand system capacity and identify potential improvement needs.
Test results support:
-
System evaluation and planning.
-
Development and expansion decisions.
-
Capital improvement prioritization.
-
Communication with stakeholders and reviewing agencies.
Site Design
RH2 provides site design services that integrate civil engineering, environmental considerations, and low impact development strategies. Our teams look beyond basic functionality to develop site solutions that are practical, maintainable, and responsive to project goals while remaining mindful of construction budgets and long-term performance.
This work often complements larger infrastructure projects, offering our teams exposure to multidisciplinary coordination and creative problem-solving.
Public Involvement
Successful infrastructure projects often depend on clear communication and community trust. RH2 supports public involvement efforts that help agencies engage stakeholders, address concerns, and share project goals in an accessible way.
Our approach emphasizes listening, transparency, and collaboration to support clients while building meaningful connections with the communities affected by project decisions.
Loan & Grant Assistance
RH2 assists clients with funding strategies and grant or loan application support for state and federally funded projects. Our experience navigating agency requirements, coordination processes, and documentation standards helps clients pursue funding opportunities with confidence.
This work is often integrated with planning and design efforts, aligning project scopes with funding criteria and implementation timelines.
COR-Evaluation (Condition, Operations & Reliability)
RH2’s COR-Evaluation services provide insight into the condition and performance of pumps, motors, and related equipment, helping clients identify inefficiencies and address issues proactively.
These evaluations can help clients:
-
Identify targeted operational improvements.
-
Detect potential equipment issues before failure.
-
Reduce energy use and long-term maintenance costs.
-
Support informed planning and replacement decisions.
Thinking about Joining Our Team?
RH2’s specialty services give team members opportunities to explore focused technical areas, collaborate across disciplines, and apply engineering judgment in a variety of project contexts. For those interested in developing niche expertise or expanding their experience beyond traditional design roles, this work offers meaningful ways to contribute to infrastructure projects that serve communities and critical systems.
