AMECO’s comprehensive service is more efficient and less expensive distribution method for large project sites. AMECO’s Workforce Hydration solutions can provide an all-inclusive solution for daily water and ice delivery, sitewide distribution, pickup, and replenishment.
What are you spending to keep your workforce hydrated?
You might be procuring water and ice at a low cost, but have you considered the hidden costs of workforce hydration? Factors like delivery, onsite distribution, cleanup labor, and waste from spoilage and hygiene issues add up over the life of a project.

The hidden fees can unnecessarily inflate project costs by upwards of $1.25 per worker per day. That sounds insignificant until the extra costs are put into perspective, equating to an additional cost of close to $1 million over the life of a two-year project with an average of 1,500 craft workers.

Fully managed onsite workforce hydration
For long-term projects or projects with rigorous sustainability goals or a need to keep onsite traffic to a minimum, AMECO provides a fully managed integrated onsite hydration solution.
Keep workers hydrated with cool, clean water while at the same time eliminating thousands of single-use plastic bottles every day.
AMECO’s workforce hydration takes an innovative approach and sustainable alternative to bottled water and ice distribution. Self-contained water processing units are distributed throughout the site to provide abundant verifiable potable water and ice to the workforce. Additional “kiosk” style stations are located near work fronts to supply safe, compliant drinking water at the OSHA approved temperature, all without the need for coolers, ice, and trucking.
Adding value to your project
- Mobile utility system provides onsite water and produces ice right at the unit using potable or non-potable water sources, with up to 6,000 gallons per day production capacity
- Refrigerated drinking water fill kiosks improve sanitation while eliminating jugs, disposable bottles, and bagged ice
- Systems are fully operated and maintained, with data logging and reporting to monitor water quality and distribution
Sustainability enhancement
AMECO’s workforce hydration service aligns with a sustainability-based capital program by:
- Eliminating 2.5 tons of plastic waste per year, per thousand people
- Reducing CO2 emissions by 37 tons per year, per thousand people
- Providing chilled water from central distribution points located near or around the work fronts
- Meeting all quality and health standards of the EPA
In addition to providing drinking water for construction sites, AMECO’s Workforce Hydration Site Services works hand-in-glove with the Industrial Relief Facilities & Wastewater Management program by providing restrooms with flushing toilets onsite.
An on-site, municipal-grade waste treatment facility can recycle the treated wastewater back into the toilet facilities or utilize it for dust suppression or other construction applications, creating a “circular hydration economy” on the jobsite. The facility eliminates the need for daily maintenance of portable chemical toilets.
