Communities across Canada rely on effective, well-planned water and wastewater systems to protect public health, support growth and strengthen community well-being.

Our country is fortunate to hold nearly 7% of the world’s renewable fresh water, spread across tens of thousands of lakes, streams and waterways. Managing the use of this critical resource requires ongoing investment in infrastructure systems with a focus on innovation and sustainability.

Currently, about 10% of Canada’s water infrastructure needs upgrading to avoid future service interruptions or failures. Your vision is clear — to deliver the best water and wastewater solutions to support your community for decades to come.  We’re here to help.

Supporting Your Water & Wastewater Projects

From water treatment plants and pumping stations to water main distribution and collection systems, we work alongside municipalities, local governments and Indigenous communities to deliver infrastructure that keeps water flowing — cleanly, safely and efficiently.

We apply decades of experience navigating multi-jurisdictions and managing water projects of all sizes, from small system upgrades to large-scale treatment facilities. We guide you through every stage of the process, mitigating risk so you achieve your project vision.

We can help you:

  • Lead projects from strategy to delivery — managing scope, schedule, budget and risk
  • Oversee cost, performance and quality through integrated project controls
  • Monitor progress and manage schedules to keep work on track
  • Facilitate risk management, including workshops and mitigation planning for water and wastewater infrastructure
  • Develop business cases and support funding applications and regulatory approvals
  • Help establish clear governance, communication and engagement frameworks
  • Provide technical advisory support to project consultants and contractors
  • Support long-term operations through training, maintenance planning and asset management

Quality is at the heart of everything we do, driven by standards that meet ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Safe Water for Every Community

Some Indigenous communities across Canada continue to face longstanding boil water advisories. Those relying on well systems often experience water shortages and contamination from runoff. Securing approvals and funding for new projects, along with resources for ongoing operations and maintenance, can be challenging, creating further delays in bringing essential water and wastewater infrastructure to communities.

Access to clean water and sanitation is a basic human right. We understand that successful project delivery takes more than technical expertise. It requires transparency, collaboration and inclusiveness and a clear understanding of what makes each community unique.

Learn more about our commitment to reconciliation and how we work with our Indigenous clients.

Leverage Collaborative Delivery for Project Success

Progressive delivery approaches such as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Progressive Design-Build (PDB) and Alliance Contracting bring owners, designers, builders and operators together early in the planning process.

These collaborative delivery models give you a distinct advantage on complex water and wastewater projects, where infrastructure, operations and community expectations need to be aligned from the start.
