Rehabilitation of infrastructure
We undertake the all aspects of rehabilitation of water
infrastructure from initial studies, to design and implementation.
Our work often allows the optimisation of water assets.
Reservoir Inspections
Mott MacDonald has engineers that are qualified under the All
Reservoirs Panel of Engineers - Reservoirs Act 1975 to undertake
reservoir inspections.
Risk management
Risk management processes are an integral and formal part of
business and project management. The processes address
uncertainties in terms of downside risk and upside opportunities.
We apply best practice risk management processes to manage risks
and opportunities on projects.
River basin management
Large or small, rural or industrialised, maritime or
continental, at Mott MacDonald we have been engaged in all aspects
of river basin management around the world.
River engineering
We are able to offer a wide range of services in river engineering.
These have ranged from major flood alleviation schemes to bank
protection works and studies of dredging requirements.
Rural development
Mott MacDonald has a wide experience in all aspects of the rural
development project cycle. In recent years much of our work has
encompassed the livelihoods approach to development, with emphasis
not only on the social and technical, but also the economic aspects
of development to ensure longer-term sustainability.
Rural water supply
Mott MacDonald’s range of water supply work has been diverse.
Examples include: inventories of existing water sources with
community participation to design/place new sources; development of
village-based maintenance; PRA, sociological/health surveys; the
use of animations and role plays; groundwater pollution/potability
studies, use of local pumps; groundwater modelling and aquifer
recharge studies, water quality testing, pollution control; gender
studies on water collection and use.
Salinity
The management of water and salt within irrigated lands in arid and
semi-arid climates is an area where Mott MacDonald has been a
respected authority for many years.
SCADA
We have considerable experience in SCADA system application and in
the specification and configuration of SCADA systems. Mott
MacDonald has worked with all of the market leader SCADA software
packages with the aim of creating user-friendly operator interfaces
at control room and plant level in order to provide plant status
detail, trends, reports and to archive selected data. Our SCADA
systems range from single site to multi-site and multi-database
systems, used on large water and wastewater treatment schemes and
pipelines.
Seawater cooling system
All the phases of seawater cooling projects, including initial
feasibility studies, Front End Engineering Document (FEED)
Engineering, production of associated Procurement Package
Documentation, and finally Construction Supervision on site.
Service reservoirs
Storage reservoirs and tanks are required throughout the water and
wastewater industry in many forms. Mott MacDonald has extensive
experience in these facilities and is able to offer comprehensive
services in their planning, design, supervision of construction,
testing and commissioning, operation, inspection and
maintenance.
Sewer infiltration studies
These are regularly undertaken as part of our work on sewerage
projects worldwide. Modelling of the sewer system can be part of
these studies.
Sewers and drainage
Our many years’ experience in the planning, design and construction
supervision of sewerage schemes throughout the world includes
schemes ranging in size from the very largest-scale projects for
major cities to small projects for isolated communities. Projects
have included gravity collection, pumped transfer, and
rehabilitation studies.
Sludge treatment and management
Mott MacDonald has extensive experience of alternative treatment
processes for sludge treatment and is undertaking leading edge work
on biosolids treatment.
Stakeholder participation
The involvement of all stakeholders in a project (owners, funders,
end-users, etc) enables water developments to be implemented to the
satisfaction of those concerned. We have involved the participation
of stakeholders on many projects implemented by us across the
worldwide.
Strategic and regulatory
advice
Strategic and regulatory advice has been provided by Mott
MacDonald to a variety of clients across the world.
Surface water modelling
Surface water quality modelling is key to understanding the impact
of both diffuse sources and point discharges on water quality.
Water quality modelling solutions range from a simple spreadsheet
approach, through the Monte-Carlo statistical method to fully
hydrodynamic models. At Mott MacDonald, we aim to apply the most
appropriate solution to meet the client’s needs. We carry out
studies using commercially available software, software developed
for a particular problem and our own in-house suite of ‘HYDRO’
models.
Surge analysis
Surge analysis capability allows consideration of transient
pressures and system operation to be fully integrated into the
overall design process. We regularly undertake surge analyses for
our clients.
Sustainability
Sustainable development, with its aim of balancing the
environmental, social and economic impacts of human activity, is by
nature complex and this can form a barrier to its successful
implementation. We are committed to integrating the key aspects of
sustainable development into our operational practices and culture.
We seek to be proactive, aiming to take sustainability into account
in all our projects and business activities, and being a source of
knowledge for our customers on sustainability issues.
Tariff studies
We have undertaken tariff studies for public and private sector
enterprises for many years. Our work has involved the evaluation of
the tariff implications for utilities of individual projects as
well as to consider the overall financial position of a utility. We
have also reviewed tariffs on an overall national scale.
Telemetry
Mott MacDonald is experienced in the design, documentation,
development and testing of telemetry systems for water and
wastewater plant.
Training
Training, technical assistance and transfer of knowledge to local
staff are key aspects of many Mott MacDonald projects. Training can
be provided both in the host country and in the United Kingdom or
other Mott MacDonald centres.
Transaction adviser
With many of the world’s governments turning to the private sector
to finance water and wastewater development, government entities
are seeking assistance in the preparation and tendering procedures
required to obtain value for money. Our long experience in the
sector coupled with the large range of disciplines available within
Mott MacDonald ensures we are well placed to provide a
comprehensive service. Mott MacDonald has been entrusted with
numerous commissions to advise authorities on the floating of Build
– Own – Operate – Transfer or operation concessions into the
private sector.
Transboundary River
Management
Mott MacDonald has experience water quality management and related
polluting impact in transboundary rivers and the complex issues
that arise when dealing with these rivers.
Tunnelling››
Mott MacDonald has designed hydraulic tunnels that provide
long-distance, inter-basin water transfer, or short tunnels that
function as headrace or tailrace tunnels for hydropower generation
or as diversion tunnels for dams. Transfer tunnels designed by Mott
MacDonald include both lined and unlined tunnels. We also have a
wide range of experience in trenchless technology including
micro-tunnelling and pipe-jacking.
