Water & Wastewater Infrastructure

Water & Wastewater Infrastructure

Water & Wastewater Infrastructure has been fundamental to our origins and ultimately our growth over the last 40 years delivering specialist engineering solutions.  We work in collaboration with our clients in both the public and private sectors to provide the resilient infrastructure needed to enhance local communities and the natural environment, improving people’s quality of life. Innovative management practices, sustainable creative solutions and collaboration ensures we meet our client’s needs.

We’d like to personally thank Seymour Civil Engineering. The team have worked extremely hard to complete each site and have gone above and beyond expectations when extra work has been unexpectedly required. We’d also like to thank Seymour for providing an extra contractor, as part of their voluntary scheme. This enabled us to carry out extra work which we wouldn’t have been able to complete otherwise. We look forward to working with you all again soon.
