We actively identify and manage risks, issues, changes to requirements and quality standards to guarantee the best possible outcome. COMMISSIONING For hands-on commissioning services, ACWA is an industry leader, focussed on complex water and wastewater facilities for municipal and industrial clients. Commissioning is an essential step in project delivery. Without it we cannot have assurance of a quality outcome. Our in-house team provides comprehensive commissioning services getting involved at project start-up to take the project through planning design, construction and turnover, on time and on budget. ACWA’s multi-disciplined knowledge and expertise includes, system design, electrical testing, operations and maintenance (incl. training) as well as systems and process diagnostics, providing an authoritative and effective resource. WATER TREATMENT Our water expertise comprehensively covers the filtration spectrum from conventional strainers and filtration systems to the most advanced reverse osmosis and ion exchange technologies. Microfiltration Ultrafiltration Nanofiltration Reverse Osmosis / Desalination Ion Exchange Conventional Water Treatment Pressure Filters Gravity Filters Chemical Treatment Granular Activated Carbon WASTEWATER TREATMENT The days of wastewater disposal by methods that had no consideration for the implications to the environment are over. As water scarcity increases and the pressure to comply with ever increasing environmental legislation for effective effluent treatment intensifies, it has never been more important to choose the right wastewater partner who can provide a range of effective processes. ACWA can deliver those solutions.

Established in 1989, OGI Groundwater Specialists is an independent, privately owned British company specialising in designing Groundwater Control systems to dewater and strengthen wet ground. OGI provides professional services to the Wastewater Industry to reduce the cost of temporary works during the construction of subsurface structures and pipelines. Working with the project structural engineers, OGI also develops systems to reduce the earth pressures on underground structures which can result in a significant reduction in construction programme and out-turn costs. Groundwater Control and Geotechnical Design at previous UK Wastewater Projects: Designing efficient dewatering systems to minimise installation, hire and fuel costs. Stabilising retaining embankments as an alternative to retaining walls. Design of king post walls as an alternative to secant or contiguous pile walls. Design of passive pore pressure relief systems to reduce artesian uplift pressure and so reduce costs of additional excavation and reduce mass of concrete gravity structure. Combining technologies to provide innovative solutions to reduce excavation costs. Delivering procedures that reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions. Temporary works designs that are integrated with the permanent works designs to ensure safe construction, including sufficient space surrounding the structure. OGI’s designs are developed from over 25 years of experience in delivering Groundwater Control solutions to contractors, consultants and project clients. Our designs are presented as clear practical drawings supported by comprehensive design certificates. Groundwater Control and Geotechnical designs follow Eurocode EC7, which provides a standard framework for OGI’s safe, innovative and cost effective designs. We also present regular Groundwater Control seminars to industry suitable for project managers, engineers and anyone who is interested in learning how to recognise, understand and apply various techniques to overcome groundwater problems and to mitigate project damage, delay or accidents. See our web site for seminar details.
