Pare Corporation recently hosted a free breakfast seminar on Hydraulic Modeling for water supply and distribution systems.  The event was held on June 1, 2010 at Kirkbrae Country Club in Lincoln, Rhode Island and was attended by a number of water supply officials from Rhode Island and Massachusetts.  A 45-minute lecture by Timothy Thies, P.E., a Senior Project Engineer at PARE, focused on ways that a computerized hydraulic model can be used to increase energy efficiency in a water system, to help a water supplier understand the transport and decay of chemicals in a distribution system, and to replace or supplement paper records for field cards, system maps, and maintenance logs. 

PARE has been providing engineering and design services for water utilities for 40 years and has been a leader in hydraulic modeling in Rhode Island for almost 25 years.

Pare Corporation is proud to announce that three employees recently passed the accreditation exam to attain the designation of LEED Accredited Professional. Pamela M. Sherrill, AICP, Scott D. Lindgren, P.E., and Cari L. Powers, P.E., are the first PARE employees to achieve this accreditation and advance PARE's goal of incorporating-through education, training, and cultural change-a mindset within the firm and amongst our employees that encourages sustainable design in the performance of our assignments.

PARE designed and oversaw construction of a 37,000 gallon-per-day on-site wastewater treatment system at the Wickford Village housing complex in North Kingstown, RI.  The project was recognized in the February 2009 issue of WaterWorld Magazine for its innovative design approach to help minimize site disturbance and unpredictable excavation costs.
