Water and Wastewater Treatment

As demand for safe water increases, aging infrastructure and contamination related to failing infrastructure and extreme weather events are impacting the availability of this most basic and essential resource. In this environment, finding alternative sources to maintain safe clean drinking water is a key consideration, and can be achieved through desalination, or by treating a contaminated or wastewater source for indirect potable reuse, agricultural or industrial uses. And that requires a range of traditional and advanced treatment alternatives and technologies.

WSP is a leader in providing multi-disciplinary wastewater engineering services. We provide advisory services and engineering solutions that assist our clients with regulatory standards compliance, the protection and enhancement of their environments, and the promotion of sustainable development for the future.

Putting Our Water and Wastewater Treatment Know-How to Work

At WSP, we believe that development of a cost-effective and sustainable source of clean, safe water is of fundamental importance to the well-being of all communities. Using sustainable, efficient technology solutions that are tailored to clients’ needs, our global team of engineers and specialists works closely with clients to deliver optimal infrastructure solutions. WSP capabilities cover all aspects of engineering (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, process and automation), enabling us to oversee infrastructure projects from the early stages of feasibility, planning and asset management, right through to construction management, commissioning or operations support.

Leveraging Expertise into Added Value

Whether designing a new facility or refurbishing, expanding or bringing an existing facility up to regulatory standards, WSP works in tandem with our clients’ management and operations teams to develop comprehensive implementation plans. Our ability to deliver projects successfully is enhanced by our use of 3D CAD, which enables clients to virtually walk through the facility as it is being designed. Our 3D CAD can be integrated with Smart P&IDs and BIM to assist asset management construction sequencing, asset maintenance, performance evaluation and capacity and energy/cost efficiency.

Conventional and Advanced Water Treatment Technologies

WSP is actively involved with new and emerging technologies, which allows us to select the most sustainable and cost-effective approach to meet our clients’ needs. In inland and coastal areas where conventional freshwater resources are unavailable, or in areas where water is in short supply, WSP has been involved in the planning and design of desalination and reclamation projects the provide an alternative or “new” water supply sources for clean, safe water.

Further WSP’s experience extends beyond the liquid side of infrastructure. There is also a waste component that requires consideration, and which may include mineral reclamation, dewatering, biogas generation, composting or waste to energy systems.
