In addition, we provide Project Management and Head Office Support. Our experienced Resident Engineers and technical site team will ensure timely completion of projects in accordance with contract requirements.

Plant Performance Audits

Waterways offers detailed independent process audits on industrial effluent, sewage treatment, and RO desalination plants. Its experts visit and carry out a detailed onsite survey and submit an impartial audit report covering areas such as asset condition, risk analysis, plant behavior and performance under different operational regimes.

Performance Enhancement Studies

A detailed survey can highlight inefficiencies in the plant operation and distribution systems. There is usually a great potential to improve the efficiency of the plant and processes, increasing productivity and the bottom line.
Waterways through its O&M experts can carry out Enhancement Studies and suggest ways of improving plant performance, reducing energy costs, and increasing productivity. Dynamic modelling of water and wastewater treatment plants is carried out using latest software. Pressure control in water distribution networks is simulated using hydraulic modelling which enables background leakage to be controlled effectively.
We work with professional experts who have the necessary skills and experience required to provide businesses with an effective and quality assured service to match any of Client’s requirements and expectations.
