one of the philosophies of the company, when planning a project, is to encourage the involvement of

those for whom the project is being provided, so that it ultimately becomes “theirs”, and consequently

they ensure that it is maintained.

those who have worked on a project, and more importantly, been trained whilst working on it, are likely

to regard it as being theirs.

ThE ImpORTANcE Of WATER Supply

An adequate supply of safe, fresh water is a basic human need. Clean water is of course equally

essential to plant and animal life, which in turn affects human life. furthermore, its provision

and maintenance is also a necessity in certain industries. It is thus a resource that must be

continuously provided, nurtured and protected. such protection includes the proper collection

and treatment of all forms of wastewater.

AREAS Of ExpERTISE WIThIN WATER Supply

• master planning, Investigations & feasibility studies

• Abstraction and treatment

• bulk supply pipelines and storage

• Distribution and reticulation

• Demand-, pressure- and loss management

ThE ImpORTANcE Of SANITATION

In general, humankind harnesses water for its own use and after such use, disposes of it into the

same water courses from where it was originally sourced. the more mature the water course,

the greater the use to which the water has previously been put. It is essential, therefore, that the

full water cycle is well managed.

AREAS Of ExpERTISE WIThIN SANITATION

• Investigations & rehabilitation

• sewer reticulation Networks

• Collector, sub-outfall & outfall sewers

• pipe bridges

• Wastewater treatment
