Water consultancy for masterplanning and feasibility studies

Water services in towns and cities face increasing pressures from urbanisation and the effects of climate change. The complex, dynamic nature of these environments can make upgrading existing systems or installing new infrastructure a challenge.

When you factor in the difficulties in gaining funding, managing stakeholders, meeting legal requirements, and providing training and education, it’s clear that projects need oversight. And masterplanning plays an essential role.

Our approach

Identifying and coordinating essential activities is a vital first step in delivering new water infrastructure. So, our masterplanning services start long before the first spade breaks ground on your project.

In the early stages:

• Our consultants will work closely with utilities and public agencies to fully define the scope of the project and identify all the stakeholders to engage.
• We’ll assess the condition and performance of any existing infrastructure and the service level and coverage provided to customers.
• Having sufficient availability of water sources (groundwater, surface water, and/or seawater) is crucial to ensure the project can meet performance goals.
• Preparing for future population growth is a key component in urban planning. As we iterate and refine our plans, we’ll ensure they align with predicted expansions in other local infrastructure, such as developments for transport and housing.
• We’ll also ensure the plans are suitable to meet water quality regulations and any sustainable development goals that apply to your location.

A vital component of masterplanning, the above feasibility assessments are key to setting realistic objectives and unlocking funding when it’s needed.

A whole project lifecycle consultancy

Even after project delivery, we’ll help train and expand your workforce. And we can continue to analyse and optimise the performance of your infrastructure so you get the most from your assets over the next 30 years of operation.
