WFT EngineeringWFT Engineering delivers comprehensive plumbing engineering solutions for commercial, institutional, and recreational buildings throughout Maryland, the greater DC region, including Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Our licensed plumbing engineers design code-compliant, efficient, and resilient systems that support health, safety, sustainability, and long-term building performance.
Note: While gray water systems are often discussed as a sustainability strategy, they are rarely cost‑effective in practice. Increased piping, maintenance, and fixture staining from dye additives typically outweigh the benefits. WFT Engineering helps clients evaluate realistic, cost‑effective alternatives such as high‑efficiency, low-water usage plumbing fixtures.
Important design insight:
Rainwater harvesting should never rely on site runoff. Debris, snow‑melt salts, and sediment significantly increase maintenance requirements and reduce system viability. WFT Engineering guides clients toward solutions that balance sustainability goals with long‑term operational practicality.
Advanced filtration and purification system(s) design for laboratories, healthcare facilities, food service operations, and clean-process environments:
Safe, efficient natural gas and fuel piping systems supporting boilers, generators, and specialized equipment:
A plumbing engineer designs the water supply, both sanitary and storm drainage, gas, and specialty piping systems that keep buildings operating safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with all applicable codes.
Yes, WFT Engineering provides plumbing system design, upgrades, retrofits, and system evaluations for both new construction and existing facilities.
Hospitals, clinics, dental offices, and surgery centers require medical gas systems.
Laboratories typically use laboratory gas systems, not NFPA 99 medical gas systems, except in vivarium environments where survivable surgical procedures are performed.
While often promoted as sustainable solutions, gray water and reclamation systems are rarely cost‑effective due to added piping, maintenance, and fixture staining. WFT Engineering helps clients evaluate realistic, cost‑efficient alternatives that still support sustainability goals.
Rainwater harvesting is most effective when capturing roof runoff for irrigation or non‑potable uses. Site runoff should be avoided due to debris, salts, and maintenance challenges.
Laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, research centers, electronics manufacturing, and medical environments rely on pure water systems.
Different applications require different purity levels — from Type 1 DI water for sensitive research to Type 3 RO water for equipment feed, animal drinking water, and aquatic systems.
