At Cloward H2O we believe that how you approach a project has as much impact on the finished product as what you design. To facilitate our goal of achieving the best overall value to both the project owner and resort guests, we provide comprehensive design and engineering services starting at the earliest stages of design through the construction phases of a project and beyond.

feasibility
Cloward H2O provides the tools and data critical to the early stages of a project's development. Feasibility studies, visioning workshops, concept designs and construction cost studies along with projected revenues and expenses allow our clients to focus and prioritize needs, opinions, funding and cash flows. Comprehensive data from these studies endows the design team with a common understanding, clear direction and a sound footing for the project, the first step to ensuring long-term project success.

conceptual
Recognized as leaders in delivering unique and innovative concepts from the initial development stages of a project, the team at Cloward H2O brings strong creative and solid analytical skills to a project, either as leaders or members of a dynamic development team. From the initial design stages we begin planning for ease of operation and maintenance, minimizing feature downtime, streamlining staffing needs, maximizing patron and staff safety, creating pristine water and air quality and other environmental factors often not taken into consideration until far later in the design process.Comprehensive data from these studies endows the design team with a common understanding, clear direction and a sound footing for the project, the first step to ensuring long-term project success.

engineering
The Cloward H2O team moves into the engineering design phases of the project with the solid foundation from the initial studies and conceptual design work. Due to the unique and specialized nature of our water feature and aquatic system designs, we detail our construction plans to a far greater degree than most other designers. Our completed Construction Documentation package consists of non-proprietary treatment components and processes, as well as complete layout and details for each feature allowing fully competitive bidding on each component and feature. The majority of our projects are designed using 3D modeling software to ensure accuracy in placing equipment and piping in relation to other building components. While this requires additional effort, the results are plans that are easier to read, fewer conflicts in the field and fewer change orders during construction. The bottom line is a complete design, systems that work every time and will last for years creating the best value to the owner.

construcntions
Key to achieving our role of protecting the client's best interests is our extensive support services during the construction and commissioning phases of a project. By responding to RFI's and providing bidding, sourcing and permitting assistance, conducting site visits at key phases or full-time construction supervision, we provide the level of assistance and support needed during construction to ensure success. Cloward H2O understands the construction process, techniques and schedule implications that arise as part of the normal build-out phase of a project. We use this knowledge to foresee unexpected problems and to avoid them before costly errors can occur.

commission
Cloward H2O's commitment carries our design standards and technical support through opening day of a project and beyond. Our comprehensive scope of services includes on-site start-up assistance of each water feature, ride or aquatic life support system. We work to ensure that each feature, ride or attraction operates as planned and that all equipment is functioning properly. As an additional part of our scope, Cloward H2O will prepare Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals. These can range from a simple outline of basic procedures to comprehensive, interactive electronic manuals. O&M manuals provide a basis for operator training and procedures to help protect the systems from costly damage due to misuse or lack of maintenance.
