Our Sectors

Providing water, waste and environmental services across the entire UK to every household, business, building and more, the Waste and Water sector typically comprises key water companies or asset owners who develop, maintain, build and operate their water network.

Support and innovation in water and waste

From a maintenance and development perspective, asset owners usually require extensive support from their contractors via their Asset Management Programmes (AMP) - so the sector is vast in terms of employment, work and skills requirements. Monitored by Ofwat, the industry is very heavily regulated for performance commitments and a training perspective. Nationally diverse and in constant need, there are also geographical challenges to consider regarding waste and water management and maintenance programmes.

With our work primarily in the Water sector space, we must update the network, reduce leakage, and significantly increase environmental performance through innovative solutions and products.
