As a leading contractor in the field of water and wastewater contracting, Balfour Beatty has been involved in the design and construction of a wide range of schemes for both clean and dirty water, with specific expertise in:

• Sewage and sludge treatment
• Main drainage
• Long sea outfall sewers
• Tunnels
• Potable water treatment plants
• Pumped transfer and distribution

We have successfully completed the design and construction of state-of-the-art water and wastewater treatment plants incorporating complex distribution control and SCADA systems.

Our experience embraces an in-depth knowledge of the process engineering requirements. This ensures that we are able to co-ordinate with the process designers to ensure that the clients' design requirements are successfully incorporated.

A €110 million scheme to design, build, own, finance, operate and maintain wastewater and sludge treatment facilities has been constructed in the North East of Scotland. The project has been procured under the private finance initiative route, and Scottish Water has entered into a 30 year concession agreement with Aberdeen Environmental Services (AES), a special purpose company formed between Balfour Beatty, Kelda and Earth Tech Engineering.

On a more local level, Balfour Beatty Ireland continues to pursue a wide range of opportunities in the domestic water market in Ireland.
