Background
Mr. Scott Parr holds an A.S. in Engineering and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. He is currently a licensed professional engineer in California, Hawaii, and Washington. This U.S. Navy veteran has over 30 years of consulting experience in the environmental, water, and wastewater industries.
Mr. Parr has great proficiency working in multidisciplinary, collaborative settings on projects in the residential, commercial, and industrial markets. As a supervising engineer in the environmental industry, his experience includes remedial investigations, remedial construction, and remediation equipment operation and monitoring of liquid and vapor-phase adsorption systems, chemical and biological scrubbing systems, and thermal oxidizers. In the water and wastewater industries, his knowledge of pre-design, design, and construction-phase engineering of process mechanical and building mechanical systems supports his ability to provide mechanical design services for various systems. Examples include pumping stations, conveyance systems, treatment systems, odor control systems, combined heat and power systems, emergency generation systems, and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Specifically, Mr. Parr’s expertise includes investigating and consulting in product, design, and operational claims involving wastewater treatment facilities, as well as equipment failures affecting HVAC, plumbing, steam, electrical, fire protection, irrigation, and building systems. He also investigates and functionally assesses ancillary support systems, such as pumps, chillers, water heaters, boilers, air compressors, scrubbers, and hydraulic system components and evaluates energy systems, pumping stations, surge suppression systems (flywheels, surge tanks, accumulators, vacuum breakers, and air relief valves), and aeration systems.
Mr. Parr has extensive experience investigating mechanical failures, design defects, installation errors, and operational errors, as well as assisting with building condition assessments.
