Professional Background

Ned Paschke's professional career has focused on the design, upgrading, and management of water related facilities and systems. As a Program Director with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he plans and directs regional and national short courses on water and wastewater engineering and management topics. Prior to joining the university, Ned served for 18 years as Director of Engineering and Planning for the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), as a senior consultant with Mead & Hunt, Inc., and as a hydraulic design engineer at Harza Engineering Company (now part of MWH) in Chicago.

During his years with MMSD, Ned and his colleagues led many upgrades and expansions of the Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant, with an average flow of 42 million gallons per day, along with many pumping stations, forcemains, and interceptors across the metropolitan area. They also created the MMSD Collection System Facilities Plan to prioritize the capacity and condition needs for the system serving over 300,000 people. At Mead & Hunt, he provided senior consulting and business development work for water and wastewater programs in Wisconsin, California, and other states. As a hydraulic engineer with Harza Engineering Company (now MWH) in Chicago, he provided detailed hydraulic analysis and design work for major river diversions, deep tunnels, spillways, dams and other water related projects to be constructed in various parts of the world. He spent large amounts of time on projects such as the 10,000-megawatt Guri Hydroelectric Project in Venezuela, the proposed 900-foot high Watana Dam on the Susitna River in Alaska, and the Bath County Pumped Storage Project in Virginia. Each of these projects, at that time, was the largest of its type in the world.
