Water and environment
Good water and waste management is a key weapon in the global battle against poverty and will play a vital role in meeting the millennium development goals. Our water and environment division provides a wide range of services to the water and waste sector.
Water Supply
Water and sanitation are key elements of urban and rural management and development. With extensive experience of all technical aspects of water supply, we are a leading consultancy in the fields of water treatment, network design, utility mapping and leak detection and water loss control.
Waste Management
As the world’s population passes the six billion mark and economic growth continues, the challenge of waste management is becoming more acute.
We have expertise in waste management policies, and can carry out studies, planning and detailed design for new landfill sites and upgrades to existing landfill sites. We also assist companies wishing to go beyond current legislation and undertake landscaping or develop biogas treatment systems.
We work closely with local utilities and national organisations to transfer our skills and enhance human resource development, financing and operational management – creating long-term benefits for the customer and these communities.
Our interdisciplinary approach combines the knowledge of our experts in engineering, economics, social sciences and natural resources. We have worked on waste management projects worldwide including Nepal, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Zambia, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Our strong commitment, drive and determination make a difference to our customers and to the communities in which we operate.
