Triple Quest succeeds through collaborations

2010 proved to be year of many successes for Triple Quest, a member of the Cascade Engineering family of companies.

Triple Quest announced a partnership with Windquest in January of 2010. Since then, their organization has hit its stride primarily by partnering and collaborating with other organizations and "letting each organization do what they do best," according to Business Unit Leader Christina Keller.

Keller outlined a series of accomplishments including having over 1,000 water filters installed in Haiti, and the establishment of a partnership with the U.S. Navy's humanitarian arm.

Keller also cites their work with USAID and Rotary International resulting in the funding for 9,000 BioSand filters to be used in the Dominican Republic, and their work with Amway to research and develop a new chlorinator/dechlorinator add-on component for the filter.

Thinking ahead to 2011, Triple Quest is looking to build on the 55,000 water filters installed throughout the world. Activities planned include featuring their walter filter at  Thirsting to Serve (a national conference to be held in Grand Rapids), more work with the U.S. Navy and the publication of a series of health impact studies in the Journal of Tropical Medicine.

Keller summarizes the successful collaborations at Triple Quest as "nobody is trying to do everything."  To learn more about Triple Quest and the Hydraid BioSand filter, you can visit their site here.
