Water & wastewater engineering forConstruction & Built Environments

Practical water and wastewater systems for construction and built environments.

From water treatment and sewage treatment to treated-water reuse and O&M.

Understanding the application

Every site and building needs water it can rely on — and sewage treated responsibly.

Construction sites and developments need water treatment and sewage treatment that suit the site and its stage of development.

Some requirements are temporary, others last for the life of the building.

We provide water and sewage treatment for sites and developments — including rental plants, treated-water reuse and operation and maintenance.

The water challenge

Conditions that shape the treatment path.

Treatment starts with the actual water, wastewater and operating context. These are the typical considerations our engineers assess for construction applications.

01

Site water

Water treatment for construction sites and developments.

02

Sewage on site

Sewage treatment for sites, communities and commercial buildings.

03

Treated-water reuse

Non-potable reuse such as flushing or landscaping, subject to requirements.

04

Flexible capacity

Rental plants and O&M where the requirement is temporary or changing.

Our water & wastewater focus

Engineering around the requirement.

The final treatment train depends on characterisation, site constraints and the required discharge or reuse quality.

  1. 01

    Water treatment

    Treatment to the quality the site or building needs.

  2. 02

    STP

    Sewage treatment sized for the site or development.

  3. 03

    Reuse

    Treated water for suitable non-potable applications.

  4. 04

    O&M

    Operation and maintenance after commissioning.

Before the first conversation

What to prepare before discussing treatment.

None of this is required to start. The more of it is available, the faster a construction requirement can move from conversation to an engineering basis.

  1. 01

    The type of site or development, and whether the requirement is temporary or permanent.

  2. 02

    The number of occupants or workers, now and at full occupancy.

  3. 03

    The water source and the quality required.

  4. 04

    Space available for treatment and its location on site.

  5. 05

    Whether treated water will be reused for flushing or landscaping.

  6. 06

    Whether a rental plant or O&M support is needed.

Engineering & treatment approach

Start with the water. Design for the outcome.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Understand the application and operating requirement.

  2. 02

    Characterise

    Assess the water or wastewater characteristics.

  3. 03

    Design

    Select the appropriate treatment pathway.

  4. 04

    Treat

    Integrate suitable process stages.

  5. 05

    Recover

    Evaluate reuse or recovery where appropriate.

  6. 06

    Support

    Commission, operate, maintain and improve the system.
