The work we do supports safe water supplies, urban flood prevention, and the health of rivers and coastal environments. Our multi-disciplinary teams provide services throughout the full project life cycle, from advisory services and feasibility studies to outline and detailed design.

We provide strategic water resources planning services to water companies, regional groups (including Water Resources South East and Water Resources East), regulators and the government in the UK, and support our global business delivering water resources planning internationally. We help clients consider the resilience of their resources in the face of environmental pressures and identify, appraise and develop future demand and supply-side interventions.
