Fairly or unfairly, the water sector gets a rough ride when it comes to a reputation for running with new ideas. It’s regularly highlighted for slowness to adopt advanced technologies. The industry has only given rise to two tech unicorns (a startup valued at over $1bn), compared to more than 380 in the finance sector. I recently wrote how differences in structure and governance create ...
One is smallish and wettish with 14 heavily regulated water utilities, a pioneering history of leak management, and a stubborn leakage rate of 19%. The other is a huge landmass of climatic extremes, with thousands of differently-resourced utilities, inconsistent regulation and similar national leakage of around 20%. ...
There has recently been a global shift in the way water infrastructure is delivered and managed. Governments, utilities, and industries are moving away from traditional, capital-heavy projects toward performance-based contracts, a model that focuses on guaranteed outcomes rather than asset ...
In line with the principles of “resource reduction, harmless treatment, and reuse,” the project integrates advanced equipment and smart management systems to minimize environmental impact and maximize the value of waste materials. The facility serves as a crucial part of the region’s circular economy strategy. The project is capable of processing up to 600 tons of renovation ...
For venue managers and sports complex operators, maintaining a dust-free environment is a paramount requirement for competitive integrity, athlete safety, and public health.
