Our team has extensive experience in both urban and rural water supplies providing services in feasibility studies and design of trunk mains, pumping stations, service reservoirs and distribution systems.
We combine our in-depth appreciation of pipeline hydraulics and the effects this has on capital, operating and maintenance costs to provide robust and optimum solutions for a range of viable engineering options. We recognise that water supply projects are subject to political and environmental constraints and in all cases we aim to deliver a balanced solution to our clients and the population served.
We have been involved in bulk treated and raw water transfer schemes. Such schemes have been evaluated considering capital and operating costs, benefits, environmental constraints as well as operational, regional and political factors.
Water supply projects undertaken vary widely and include:
• studies, designs and construction supervision
• support to multi-disciplinary water sector projects with a typical emphasis on environmental improvements
• operational studies
• investment planning
• training and technological transfer
• project management
• post-project technical audits
• research, environmental and impact assessments, base-line studies
Water supply to cities, towns and rural communities are generally abstracted from groundwater and surface water sources such as rivers and lakes. Such raw water sources have varying levels of quality and are subject to treatment in order to meet stringent drinking water quality standards. Water supply to some large industries, sensitive customers or smaller communities however may be best derived from groundwater sources that are generally subject to reduced level of treatment such as marginal disinfection.
The key areas of our water treatment expertise are:
• Conventional, advanced and low cost water treatment
• Procurement procedures and Project Management
• Mathematical modelling of processes for hydraulic and control purposes
As a company, we are well aware of the consequences of low rainfall and drought, and are therefore dedicated to utilising our expertise to develop sound water resources and management strategies for our clients.
