Clean water, building a resilient water chain
With a water treatment rate of over 90%, Flanders has already come a long way. This allows us to shift the focus to renovation and quality. By improving existing infrastructure, we aim to improve water purity to meet stricter standards. Sweco’s water experts contribute to a robust and sustainable water infrastructure for future-proof water management.
Addressing integrated wastewater treatment, rainwater coupling, and infiltration
We design and supervise projects for the transport and treatment of wastewater and for rainwater coupling.
- Sewer systems
- Buffer facilities and collectors
- Water flow modelling
- New wastewater treatment plants
- Optimising existing wastewater treatment plants
Our multidisciplinary approach ensures a smooth flow of the project through all phases: from design to permit to execution and follow-up. In doing so, Sweco focuses on innovation, such as the integration of circular material use and energy recovery.
Strategically anticipating the future
Our experts combine technical expertise with policy insight from a local base in Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels. We support public clients, such as sewage treatment operators, intermunicipalities, and public authorities in strategic choices around rainwater disconnection and infiltration, in line with the latest regulations such as the Regional Rainwater Ordinance.
With a strategic view, we anticipate stricter standards around micropollutants through our approach to sludge treatment and micropollutants.
A lever for sustainable development
Climate change, urbanisation, and ageing infrastructure are putting pressure on the water system and posing many challenges. With broad experience and an integrated approach, our experts translate complex projects into feasible solutions.
