Plumbing engineering
Healthy solutions for water and waste
PAE’s mission to solve the world’s water challenges starts and ends, in a large part, with plumbing design. We work early on with project teams to analyze the use of water and find healthy, innovative, and even simple designs elegantly integrated with the building’s mechanical and electrical systems.
