Engineering Services Unit
Created to provide comprehensive technical support to the Department of Environment, the Engineering Services Unit (ESU) provides assistance to all the divisions within DOE, particularly the Facilities Management Division.
The staff of ESU provides engineering, project management and customer liaison services. Staff experience with water quality issues, hydraulics/hydrology, drains inspection, permitting, wastewater treatment and transport systems, engineering design and construction management assist DOE in its every day job. ESU assists the other divisions with unique or "one-time" projects that cover areas such as computer technology, project planning, oversight of engineering consultants, and federal grants and state revolving loan funds. Our staff provides assistance to the Director of DOE as well as our customer communities with respect to policy review, coordination with Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and interface with the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD).
