Wastewater

Commissioning and operating municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants.

Our people have a strong track record for successfully commissioning and operating municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants and effluent disposal systems for clients throughout New Zealand.

Our expert team provides specialist engineering and scientific services in sewage treatment and disposal, and the development of sewerage infrastructure. We are adept at deploying a range of biological, chemical, and physical treatment processes, and engage closely with our clients to find the perfect solution for their specific challenges.

We particularly excel in advanced land treatment methodologies, working to optimise waste assimilation while mitigating environmental effects.
