CES works with various clients including architects and developers on projects in the eastern Caribbean. Project scopes have ranged from development of preliminary planning and cost estimates for subdivisions/developments, to site evaluation, preliminary and final design of wastewater systems to serve individual residents and luxury villas. Design work has been performed for projects located in the Virgin Islands and Anguilla.
A recent CES project is the wastewater system planning for a large off-shore cay development in the Virgin Islands. Several cluster systems are planned to serve a luxury residential development for approximately 100 homes along with a community center, clubhouses, yoga pavilion, spa, dining areas, tennis courts, a dock and support facilities. The cluster systems consist of effluent collection from each building served (STEP and/or STEG), followed by treatment using enclosed recirculating packed media filters, with final subsurface dispersal of treated effluent in low pressure dosed trenches.
The project marks the first time that an off-shore development has been permitted in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and was approved unanimously by the legislature. The wastewater service plan is particularly distinct from others previously proposed or implemented for eastern Caribbean projects, and exemplifies a state-of-the-art sustainable design.
