Four Waters Engineering, Inc. (4Waters) is a multidisciplinary consulting firm offering a wide range of environmental and civil engineering services focused on finding sustainable solutions for water-related issues. We are a woman-owned small business founded in Jacksonville Beach in 2015 to provide a variety of comprehensive solutions for utility infrastructure, stormwater systems, site development, GIS development and management, and water and wastewater treatment facilities. We offer comprehensive engineering consulting services including planning, analysis, feasibility studies, modeling, design, permitting, and construction administration and management. 4Waters serves mostly public clients throughout the southeast U.S. and our engineers and professionals have experience with design, permitting, and consulting for infrastructure projects worldwide.
At 4Waters, people are at the core of everything we do. The people that trust us to take on their engineering challenges, the people that live and work in the communities we serve, and the people we work with every day. That’s why we focus on meeting our clients’ specific needs, building long-lasting relationships, and providing quality service on every single project.
The Society of Military Engineers (SAME) was one of the first organizations 4Waters joined because we agree with the SAME values of integrity, patriotism, public service, national security, technical competence, excellence, and environmental stewardship. Through SAME, we have connected with individuals and organizations who have been incredibly generous, offering mentorship, sharing connections, and providing opportunities for us to learn and grow our business. We are grateful to be a part of such a respected and collaborative community.

Since 1983, Taylor Engineering, Inc., with headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida; full-service branch offices in Destin, Sarasota, and Tampa, Florida; and a field office in the U.S. Capital region, has provided leading-edge solutions in the water environment. The company focuses its attention on water-related engineering, planning, management, and environmental challenges with emphasis on coastal regions. The company takes on projects — coastal restoration and management, coastal processes analysis, beach nourishment, coastal structures, ports, harbors and marinas, environmental restoration and management, waterfront access structures, wave and storm-surge modeling, flood control, flood insurance studies, and more — that cover the spectrum of water-related issues. Taylor Engineering operates a Coastal and Marine Geosciences Laboratory (Coastal-Geo Lab) in Jacksonville, Florida that specializes in analysis of sediment samples and cores collected from beaches, navigation channels, and dredged material management areas. Each service shares a common characteristic: it supports projects occurring in the water or at the water’s edge.
