Design and tender support for water treatment

Our engineers enable water utilities and industrial water users worldwide to design new (greenfield) or upgrade existing (brownfield) infrastructure. Local expertise helps us support our clients with tendering, procurement, project management and construction – all within budget and on schedule.

Expectations for water services are constantly changing, so there will always be a need to improve or expand infrastructure. However, every site presents unique challenges, and there can be multiple reasons to act, such as the need to increase capacity, meet higher effluent standards, aim for water reuse, or to improve an underperforming plant.

Whether you’re a water utility preparing for tighter quality regulations or an industrial water user looking to reduce operating costs through water reuse – each situation requires tailored solutions. To ensure your plant is fit for the future, you’ll need a partner to help you with this process.

Most projects will go through several phases, including:

A fact-finding analysis of your site to understand how to optimise or upgrade existing infrastructure
Troubleshooting, if required
A system selection study
Conceptual design
Environmental impact assessments and cost estimates

Then, once the project’s scope and context are clear and the investment decision has been taken, Haskoning can further support you with basic and detailed designs. We can also prepare tender documents, manage the tender process, and provide EPCM services to oversee construction from groundbreaking to ribbon-cutting.

Extensive water technology expertise

Based on your water infrastructure needs, we’ll tailor designs to suit your capacity requirements, effluent limits, workforce skills, and budget. Our large team of water tech experts constantly monitors the latest research and developments to stay ahead of future water industry challenges.

An engineer for every challenge

It takes a range of skills to complete complex new water infrastructure projects. Our civil, mechanical, electrical, and software engineering specialists will ensure your systems work with other catchment water users and are equipped with digital solutions for automation and sustainability.

Legal support for clients

Construction disputes shouldn’t slow your project down. Our legal team will ensure that government agencies are aligned, designs meet required standards, tendering is transparent and fair for all parties, contracts are watertight, and any disputes are quickly resolved if they arise.

Local contractor network

We’ve delivered numerous water technology projects around the world. Our network of trusted local partners and contractors has been pre-approved as meeting the highest standards – streamlining the bidding process for our clients and getting construction work underway sooner.

Designing water infrastructure is a complex process. You need a partner that can channel every available resource to ensure projects are optimised, legal, safe, sustainable, and cost-effective
