O&M Solutions is a one-stop shop for all water and wastewater treatment needs

Thus, with a full staff of licensed operators, Seaman is dedicated to abridging every intricate O&M task of the treatment plant owners and operators. To that end, “high-quality output is the strongest suit of our comprehensive WWTP management services,” he says.

Employing a Winning Onboarding Methodology that Breeds Success

Under the hood of O&M Solutions’s excellence in WWTP services is a unique three-tiered approach that the company follows when onboarding clients. “We start by understanding their present situation, as in, ‘Where are they right now?’. So, our first focus is always checking what technical and non-technical support they need to ensure regulatory compliance,” says Seaman. Once the process is set in motion, the second stage is about determining how to keep the client performing consistently once they fulfill regulatory compliance. Seaman adds about the third stage, “Our task revolves around continuously making it easier for our clients to implement new technologies or upgrade antiquated equipment down the road. That’s the basic blueprint for all of our client collaborations.”

Describing how this approach works for the client, Seaman narrates the instance of a longstanding healthcare facility. The facility’s wastewater treatment plant was old and running inefficiently. O&M Solutions was onboarded, and its first task was to help the healthcare facility detangle regulatory issues with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). When those immediate roadblocks were cleared, O&M Solutions began to identify the necessary repairs and upgrades of equipment in that facility to ensure compliance over the next several years. “And right now, we are in talks with the facility about their long-term capital improvement plan for optimizing the potential of their treatment plant to its fullest level,” shares Seaman.

Along with such outstanding client success stories, today, the company’s role is further recognized because of its ability to bridge the gap between treatment plant owners and the regulatory community. “We try to remind all the stakeholders that we’re all in this together. This understanding is crucial to boost confidence among plant owners, operators, and regulators to work in unison and tackle the problem with a greater good in mind,” explains Seaman. Propelling with that mindset, O&M Solutions is now prepping itself for lateral expansion and is in the process of acquiring a pump control, automation, and repair business. At the same time, the company is also developing relationships with product manufacturers to be a part of their installation or service division. With such strategic acquisitions and partnerships, Seaman intends to continually improve what O&M Solutions does best—offering advanced operations and maintenance services for wastewater treatment plants. The future, therefore, shines brightly for the company.
