Jeff Parker, an engineer with Philadelphia environmental engineering firm Metcalf & Eddy, will give a talk on “Sustainable Water Systems for Developing Countries” 7 p.m. Monday in Acopian Engineering Center room 239.
The free event is sponsored by the student chapter of Engineers Without Borders, which is planning a trip to Honduras to help develop a system for healthy drinking water.
Metcalf & Eddy is a sponsor of “Water for People,” a non-profit organization helping to support drinking water projects in developing countries. Founded in 1907, the company first won national recognition when it pioneered what would become “environmental engineering” through its water and wastewater work. Today it delivers a full range of environmental services from more than 20 offices around the globe.
Over the years, Metcalf & Eddy has tackled some of the most complex and visible environmental projects in the world, from restoring Boston Harbor to providing water and wastewater system infrastructure in the Middle East. It has designed thousands of environmental systems and facilities and managed billions of dollars of construction work. The company employs over 1,000 professionals.
