Our water and wastewater process design team is concentrated in
Cambridge and comprises around 20 process engineers including
chemical engineers, chemists, microbiologists and environmental
engineers. The team currently operates from UK offices in
Cambridge, Skipton, Bradford and Edinburgh and provides process
support for water and wastewater projects in the UK and
overseas.
Our team comprises senior staff with extensive experience
throughout the water industry, including nationally recognised
experts. More junior members of the team build on previous
experience and develop new expertise to provide a firm basis for
the development of a strong process engineering team that is
skilled, knowledgeable and cost-effective.
Our work includes various stages of design. This includes
feasibility studies, outline design and detailed design as well as
assessment of tender design on behalf of a wide range of clients
such as water companies, or other local organisations responsible
for providing water and wastewater treatment.
We prefer to base designs on data collected in the field rather
than typical values that may not be relevant. We employ portable
analytical methods and tools to collect water quality data where
local facilities are unavailable or unreliable.
Design work undertaken includes:
- Potable water treatment works
- Municipal wastewater and industrial effluent treatment works
(including leachate treatment)
- Odour treatment plants
- Sludge treatment and disposal plants
- Effluent re-use plants.
Work undertaken to support design includes:
- Environmental protection
- Zonal classification
- Risk assessment
- Waste minimisation
- Master planning.
In addition to design works our engineers provide specialist input
to projects on:
- Water quality issues
- Expert witness testimony
- Technical advice
- Development of legislation
- Research projects, including pilot studies
- Specific investigations and troubleshooting
- Institutional strengthening.
