administrative support personnel.
We are equipped with the most modern equipment, including computer
systems designed for engineering applications; such as, structural and
hydraulic analysis, computer aided design and drafting (CADD), and word
processing. The hydraulic analysis
program routinely used by Kaempfer & Associates, Inc. is capable of

& Associates, Inc. is a full service firm, which provides comprehensive
professional services from a project's conception through construction and
start-up. We recognize that each
client has unique problems and needs which require unique solutions. We constantly strive to solve those
problems and fill those needs in the most economical and expeditious
manner. We
feel our small size is a direct benefit to the client because it assures
timely, personal service for our clients and allows active participation of
the principals of the firm in every project. We have a highly qualified staff who have a record of
successful projects. We are
particularly proud of our ability to maximize the use of existing
facilities to minimize project costs. Our
firm prides itself in providing innovative, cost-effective solutions to our
client's needs. We provided the
planning, design, bidding, construction related, and start-up services for
the first aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) well in Wisconsin. We provide a complete range of
engineering services from start to completion of the project and we will be
available to provide continuing engineering services after the project is
completed. We routinely involve the
staff of the community in all aspects of the project. This approach results in a savings to
the client and a better understanding of the project for the client. Our
company policy is to assign one engineer as project manager for the
duration of a project. This
engineer provides general supervision of the work and continuity to the
project. The project manager is
directly involved in all phases of the project and draws upon other company
resources and expertise as required; therefore, the client then deals with
one person throughout the project. Kaempfer
& Associates, Inc. uses a customized project numbering and filing
system that is designed to optimize our ability to provide continuing
engineering services to our clients.
Our unique system allows rapid recovery of information for every
project. Kaempfer & Associates,
Inc. maintains a copy of all operating and maintenance manuals for our
projects so we have access to the same information as the client for
efficiently providing operating assistance. Kaempfer
& Associates, Inc. maintains one of the most extensive libraries of
technical information and references in northeast Wisconsin. The library includes a complete set of
the AWWA Standards and Manuals of Water Supply Practices, a set of the WEF
Manuals of Wastewater Practices, ASTM Standards for building construction,
NFPA Standards and codes, as well as, text books on all aspects of
engineering. Periodicals in our
library include the Journal of the American Water Works from 1950 and the
Journal of the Water Environment Federation from 1971. Kaempfer
& Associates, Inc. has a comprehensive safety program. The program includes written procedures

technical specifications, and standard details specifically set-up for
municipal, water supply, and wastewater management engineering
projects. These documents have been
successfully used for over 20 years on numerous projects. The documents are designed to provide
the utmost protection and value to the Owner of the project while treating
the Contractor fairly.
