Water: doing the right thing

Good quality water and sewerage systems are a prerequisite for modern society.

Water regulator, OFWAT, is systematically driving through improvements in water quality and leakage reduction across the water sector.

This has resulted in significant investment through the AMP4 period; yet investment at the rate allowed from 2000 to 2005 means that it would take hundreds of years to renew the whole water network. *

As a result many of our cities still rely on mains and sewers that are over 100 years old and maintaining, managing and improving these systems are the challenges facing our specialists every day.

By offering industry-leading expertise in leakage detection, network modelling and design services, Mouchel helps its clients in the water sector to increase efficiency and reduce cost and disruption to the customer, whilst enhancing water quality and customer satisfaction.

We work with every single water and sewage utility in the UK, as well as the Department of the Environment & Heritage Services in the Republic of Ireland.

We deliver more than 40 term framework commissions for these clients, including two framework agreements with Thames Water to provide leakage detection services across North-East London and leakage consultancy services across the entire Thames region.
