Extend the life of water infrastructure

Aging water infrastructure poses significant challenges for governments and utilities. We help manage water infrastructure more effectively and extend the life of aging assets by developing pioneering, practical solutions and long-term strategies that maximise value.

Through capturing and analysing data about the assets themselves—their condition, location and real value—we help our clients to make smarter, more cost-effective decisions to better understand their largest risks and avoid critical failures within their water infrastructure.

We support them to implementing better processes, employee training, and digital technologies, and unlock the power of their data to drive informed investment decisions.

Asset management

Deliver Future Ready® water infrastructure

The need for new water infrastructure is critical to meet growing demands. We provide a complete advisory and engineering service to support governments, municipalities, utilities and industries alike, at every project stage of planning, designing, delivering and maintaining collection and conveyance systems for water and wastewater.

Our integrated teams collaborate across disciplines and geographies, applying global best practices, innovative technologies and expert local insight to solve our clients’ most complex infrastructure challenges.

Water transmission and wastewater conveyance

Safeguard access to clean, safe water

We guide clients in developing sustainable strategies for managing freshwater supplies and exploring alternative sources such as desalination, greywater recycling, and reclaimed wastewater.

Our teams are delivering large-scale solutions for treating wastewater and removing contaminants such as arsenic, uranium, and PFAS; cleaning up historic pollution and restoring ecosystems through advanced treatment technologies and proven implementation.

Empower industry with circular water solutions

Industries face increasing pressure to optimise water use and meet regulatory requirements. We support companies across all sectors in achieving compliance while improving operational efficiency through sustainable and circular water management.

Our work includes assessing environmental risks, guiding responsible water withdrawals, and supporting permitting and compliance strategies, especially in areas facing regulatory or contamination challenges. Our expert process engineering teams provide tailored solutions for water reuse, wastewater treatment, and resource recovery, helping industries reduce waste and extend the lifecycle of water.

By integrating circular economy principles, we enable businesses to minimise environmental impact, recover valuable resources, and build a resilient, future-ready operations.

Industrial water and wastewater treatment

Strengthen resilience to climate and flood risks

Climate change presents significant water risks for communities and economies, both from long-term trends and more frequent floods and droughts. We help clients understand the risks that climate change poses to their infrastructure and operations, and build resilience over the long term.

Our multidisciplinary teams provide advice, research, and design services to support organisations in making informed decisions, and developing and implementing Future Ready adaptation strategies that align with their broader objectives.
