Year Lifespans
Aging infrastructure is a primary concern for municipalities across the region. Over time, well performance can decline due to mineral buildup, casing deterioration, or mechanical wear. We provide expert public agency well rehabilitation to restore efficiency and output to existing systems.
Rather than immediately resorting to costly replacements, our team analyzes the existing infrastructure to determine if rehabilitation is a viable, cost-effective option. Our rehabilitation services often involve structural concrete work to repair wellheads, excavation to access buried components, and mechanical upgrades to extend the life of your assets.
Additionally, we offer routine municipal water system maintenance to prevent costly failures. Proactive maintenance ensures that pumps and motors operate within their optimal efficiency ranges, reducing energy costs for the agency and preventing unexpected service interruptions for the community.

Self-Performed
As a full-service general contractor, we handle the complete installation of new wells and water systems. This process requires precise coordination between excavation teams, concrete specialists, and mechanical installers. We manage the entire scope, ensuring seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.
Our installation services include deep well pump installation of industrial-grade pumps capable of extracting water from deep aquifers to meet municipal demand. We specialize in the installation and alignment of high-horsepower submersible motors designed for continuous, heavy-duty operation. We perform the necessary structural concrete and miscellaneous metal fabrication work, including fabricated pipe systems, to house and support the mechanical components.

When infrastructure reaches the end of its lifecycle, proper closure is vital for environmental safety and regulatory compliance. Abandoned wells or fuel systems can pose significant risks to groundwater quality if not handled correctly. We provide professional water system decommissioning services, adhering to all local and state regulations.
Our team holds Oregon DEQ UST Service Provider licenses for decommissioning, ensuring that the process is handled safely and legally. We manage the physical removal of equipment, the sealing of wells to prevent contamination, and the restoration of the site. Public agencies can trust ORR Inc. to mitigate liability and ensure environmental stewardship during the decommissioning process.

Fast system restoration for failed deep well pumps. We maintain emergency inventory and can mobilize replacement equipment quickly.
On-site emergency fabrication of pipe manifolds, flanges, and structural supports to adapt existing systems to replacement components.
Rapid excavation to access buried water system components, wellheads, and piping for emergency repairs and diagnostics.
We mobilize quickly to address pump failures, line breaks, or critical system malfunctions to restore essential services to the community as fast as possible.
For public agencies, water infrastructure is the foundation of community health and safety. Schools, hospitals, fire stations, and residences depend on reliable water access. When a well system fails or is shut down due to non-compliance, essential public services and quality of life are directly impacted. Investments in water infrastructure are investments in public health and community stability.
Systems built to last 30+ years reduce the burden on future budgets and maintenance crews. We focus on durability in every weld, pour, and connection.
Adherence to strict DEQ and state guidelines protects the agency from liability and fines. We navigate the complex regulatory landscape of the Pacific Northwest.
Properly installed high-horsepower motors and pumps reduce energy consumption. Efficient systems lower monthly operating costs for the municipality.
Rapid response to emergencies minimizes service interruptions for residents, ensuring hospitals, schools, and homes have access to clean water when they need it most.
Water system infrastructure requires specialized certifications and strict adherence to safety protocols. ORR Inc. possesses the specific credentials necessary to legally and safely perform this work across the Pacific Northwest.

We build it right the first time, so we don’t have to come back for repairs until the system reaches its natural end of life decades later.
Transparency is key to successful public works projects. We follow a rigorous, step-by-step process for every water system installation or rehabilitation project, ensuring that agency stakeholders are informed and compliance is documented at every stage.
We participate in the public bidding process or provide consulting on constructability and budgeting. During this phase, we help agencies plan feasible projects by identifying potential challenges early. Our value engineering services often help municipalities maximize their budget without compromising on system quality or longevity.
Once a project is awarded, our team prepares the site. This involves handling all necessary excavation and structural concrete work required for the system foundation. We manage site safety, traffic control if necessary, and environmental protection measures to minimize the impact on the surrounding community.
Certified technicians install pumps, motors, and piping, or perform rehabilitation work on existing structures. This is where our cross-disciplinary expertise shines; we coordinate the electrical, mechanical, and civil aspects of the build simultaneously to maintain the schedule.
We rigorously test the system for pressure, flow, and electrical integrity to ensure it meets all specifications before handover. We simulate various operating conditions to verify that the pumps and motors perform correctly under load. This phase includes verifying that all telemetry and control systems are communicating effectively.
We provide closeout documentation and maintenance guidelines to ensure the system performs optimally for decades. We train agency personnel on the operation of the new equipment and provide detailed records of all installed components for future reference.
