Constant support at each stage of your project

With our expertise and deep local roots, we can support you at every stage of your project: strategic advice in the upstream phase, analysis and master plans, design, supervision of works and decommissioning.

Expertise across the whole water cycle

 

We provide a comprehensive array of consultancy and engineering skills to optimise water resources, helping local authorities and companies with their projects. With our innovative solutions, we ensure sustainability, economic performance and environmental protection.


To help you with all your environmental and energy transitions, our engineers also provide services in other key aspects of the local environment: management of the large and small water cycles, urban development, waste management and recovery, mobility and energy efficiency.

Specific analysis to improve waste management


Our teams of specialist engineers have in-depth knowledge of regulations, technologies and best practice regarding waste management in order to provide you with custom solutions, whether you are a local authority or business.


We address the numerous issues relating to water circularity across the entire value chain of your project by designing practical strategies and solutions that support the energy and ecological transition.


Our in-depth knowledge of your local region means that we can offer an innovative response to all environmental issues, advise you about the environmental impact of your projects and the performance of your business.

Support, combining strategic advice with engineering skills to meet your transition needs

We have developed the capability to provide you with advice on your sustainability strategy, based on our in-depth knowledge of the water and waste industries. Whether you operate in the public or private sector, we can help you with the following:

  • Water and circularity market analysis
    - Strategic insights to support you in markets in which we have expertise
  • Operational resilience
    - Assessments of business interruption risks arising from extreme events such as flooding and droughts
    - Joint development of action plans to mitigate those risks and comply with regulatory requirements (CSRD, etc.)
  • Upstream support for major infrastructure projects (in partnership with top-tier strategic consultancy firms)
    - Our experts help you shift your strategy more quickly (mapping your critical assets, assessing your investment needs, etc.) for new infrastructure projects: new cities, desalination plants, etc.

Together, we can design the resilient, sustainable cities of tomorrow

At a time of climate change, biodiversity loss and increasing scarcity of available natural resources, we can support your local authority by increasing sustainability and enhancing the well-being of residents with more efficient, resilient, safe and inclusive projects.
Our engineers apply their technical and scientific expertise to devise, create and upgrade the infrastructure needed for a healthy, safe and sustainable environment.

Our aim?

To support your environmental transition, from the definition of development strategies to the installation of infrastructure.

Our role is to:

Design
infrastructure that is safe and accessible to all
Adjust
existing infrastructure to make your city resilient, focusing on local usage and resources
Improve
the environmental footprint of your project and of infrastructure usage
Lead
large, complex projects – including those that involve a variety of participants – while remaining on time and on budget

By your side at all stages of your project

  • Taking a systematic, holistic approach to projects, factoring in all socio-economic and financial parameters to support your ecological and digital transitions: frugal use of resources, nature-based solutions, circular economy, smart objects, etc.
  • Meeting your residents’ expectations by factoring environmental and health risks into your projects: flooding, heat islands, noise pollution, air quality, water resources, etc.
  • Co-ordinating the whole urban service value chain, including access to water, treatment of effluents, management of waste, telecoms and transport infrastructure, public and green spaces, and energy production.

Concrete solutions tailored to the challenges of climate change and the low-carbon transition

To address climate and ecological transition issues, we help clients develop their vision and define their strategy regarding climate adaptation and carbon reduction.

Taking a collaborative approach, we create practical, custom solutions by putting together a committed, multidisciplinary team, along with suitable tools. Advising you by taking a holistic approach based on three key aspects:
1.

Strategic consulting

Diverse skills in the energy, climate and environmental fields, along with solid knowledge of regulations, to help create a low-carbon economy.

A holistic approach that aims to address current challenges related to climate change and to guide you towards more sustainable and resilient practices:

  • Low-carbon strategy
    Devising your strategy for reducing GHG emissions and developing a plan to reduce carbon emissions from your activities
  • Climate risks and adaptation
    Understanding the exposures and vulnerabilities of regions and organisations in terms of climate risks, and putting in place an adaptation strategy
  • Resource strategy
    Understanding the environmental impact of your activities and devising a plan to reduce impact and preserve resources
2.

Sustainable urban planning consulting

Designing projects that consider the specific features of regions and cities, while ensuring optimal integration with urban and transport infrastructure and preserving nature.

We work alongside you to design cities that are resilient and pleasant to live in, by combining an integrated sustainability strategy with specific implementation requirements:

  • Cities and mobility
    Combining expertise in mobility, urban planning and the climate, to design mobility projects tailored to the specific features of each city and region.
  • Urban resilience
    Developing resilient urban projects, using the right tools and anticipating technical and operational engineering work.
  • Circular economy
    Giving fresh impetus to urban renewal: reducing the amount of resources consumed in urban development and recovering resources resulting from that development
3.

Digital expertise

Comprehensive support from drafting the statement of requirements to designing custom digital solutions.


We offer a full range of digital services for environmental professionals, including consultancy, project owner assistance and the design and development of custom digital solutions.
