Water

Faber Maunsell is a major provider of environmental engineering services to the water industry and, through long term framework agreements, is working closely with the industry to ensure projects are designed and delivered effectively.

We have an exceptionally thorough understanding of the design and engineering requirements of water infrastructure systems.  We cover the complete range of engineering applications from the design of new facilities to the rehabilitation and renovation of older assets. We advise on the best ways to enhance sustainability within operations and strategy from a viewpoint of understanding the way assets within the water industry are used, financed and managed.

We assist at all levels of the water cycle process from resource catchment infrastructure, specialist engineering for dams and reservoirs, through project management of pipelines and supply networks in both urban and rural areas to the design of treatment plants and wastewater disposal including sewage control systems and outfalls.

We have a thorough understanding of the AMP process for investment and infrastructure and provide the water industry with a resource to manage capex investments in an efficient and appropriate manner.

All our engineers are supported by the latest design and analytical systems from CADNA applications to advanced hydrological modelling and asset management control.  We provide skills under framework contracts for the major utilities as well for specific projects such as the design of SUDS and water balance systems for developments, wastewater disposal for sites such as airports and factories, and groundwater protection from pollutants and historic contamination. 

Our environmental engineering teams provide practical answers to clients relating to the management of environmental engineering systems, facilities and networks using advanced techniques and in-depth professional knowledge.  We are experienced in implementing SCADA systems and telemetry design for all types of sites and networks with the end purpose of enhancing our clients’ data and maintenance management systems.  We can also provide data acquisition and system control practice for clients with extensive and diverse asset portfolios.

We have won industry awards for our environmental engineering and environmental capability including Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for water catchment areas, water course ecology and habitat protection schemes and the implications of climate change for water resources management. We also help the Water industry make the best use of its assets from infrastructure rehabilitation programming to applying renewable energy solutions.
