Nute
Engineering is a consulting engineering firm located in San Rafael, California,
which provides planning, facility design, and construction management services in the field of environmental protection, water and wastewater. Founded in 1945, Nute Engineering specializes in environmental engineering services, including the planning and design of sewers, pump stations, wastewater treatment plants and water reclamation systems, as well as drainage and flood control facilities.
Nute Engineering is able
to design and provide engineering services on relatively large projects by associating with appropriate consultants who provide soils, structural, electrical and other disciplines necessary for the completed project. Clients include municipalities, sanitation agencies, flood control agencies and other engineering firms, as well as attorneys, non-profit groups and private individuals.
Nute Engineering has
pioneered new and award-winning technologies connected with wastewater and environmental protection. These new technologies include trenchless pipeline installation methods, the creation of managed wetlands using treated wastewater to provide environmental enhancement and wildlife habitat, and the use of ultraviolet light to disinfect treated wastewater in order to eliminate the use of toxic
chemicals.

Nute Engineering's Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District Wastewater Reclamation Project, Marin County, California, won second place in the Consulting Engineers Association of California Award for Excellence in Engineering, 1987 Annual Engineering Excellence Awards Competition.
In March 1996, the San Francisco Bay
Section of the California Water Environment Association awarded Mt. View Sanitary District the "Plant of the Year" Award and also awarded Nute Engineering the Engineering Achievement Award for the design of the District's UV disinfection facilities. Nute Engineering also received an award for Engineering Excellence from the Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors of California for this project.
MULTIPLE
USE WASTEWATER RECLAMATION
Nute Engineering's award-winning design for the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District Wastewater Reclamation Project provides ecological, agricultural, recreational and economic benefits on a difficult site. Designed to handle 2.9 million gallons of treated wastewater per day, the 385-acre complex near San Francisco includes 40 acres of storage ponds, 20 acres of freshwater marsh, 10 acres of saltwater marsh, 200 acres of irrigated pasture, landscaping and 3-1/2 miles of public access trails.
The freshwater marsh pond, containing treated effluent, is designed to provide wildlife habitat, which includes protected nesting sites on five small islands. This project has been acclaimed by the Audubon Society as a prime Marin County birding site with over 180 identified bird species since operations started.
From project inception to start-up, Nute Engineering brought a variety of solutions to bear to meet wastewater management needs and environment constraints, as well as maximize benefits to wildlife and the public. The result was an award-winning project completed for $6.5 million, approximately
half the cost of a conventional bay outfall alternative.
Nute Engineering won a statewide award in the Engineering Excellence Awards Competition sponsored by the Consulting Engineers Association of California for "superior design" of this multiple use Wastewater Reclamation Project. This project was also nominated for a national Engineering Excellence Award from the American Consulting Engineers Council in Washington, DC.
