Upgrade Approach in 6 Steps
We use a structured six-stage approach to reduce risk, keep operations running, and deliver measurable results.
01
Assessment and data collection
Review records, inspect assets, test flows and influent quality, and map constraints.
02
Options study and concept design
Compare retrofit schemes, select the preferred process, size key units, and set budget and timeline.
03
Detailed retrofit engineering and approvals
Develop multidisciplinary designs and documents for authority submission and approval.
04
Phasing, bypass, and cutover planning
Prepare method statements, risk controls, and temporary works to maintain treatment during construction.
05
Construction and installation in a live plant
Execute civil works and install M&E and controls with quality assurance and strict safety management.
06
Commissioning, performance proving, and training
Run tests, optimise settings, certify performance, hand over documentation, and provide early-life support.
